Question

graph the point (2.5, -3.5) on the coordinate plane:

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the x - coordinate

On the x - axis, move 2.5 units to the right of the origin (since \(x = 2.5>0\)).

Step2: Locate the y - coordinate

From the point on the x - axis found in Step1, move 3.5 units down (since \(y=-3.5 < 0\)).

Answer:

Plot the point 2.5 units to the right of the origin on the x - axis and 3.5 units down from that position on the y - axis.
