Question

1. x = 3

y = -1

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x and y coordinates

Given \( x = 3 \) and \( y = -1 \), we need to locate the point \((3, -1)\) on the coordinate grid.

Step2: Locate x=3 on x - axis

Move 3 units to the right of the origin (0,0) along the x - axis (horizontal axis).

Step3: Locate y=-1 on y - axis

From the point where \( x = 3 \) on the x - axis, move 1 unit down along the vertical (y - axis) direction since \( y=-1 \) (negative y - values are below the x - axis).

Step4: Mark the point

The intersection of the vertical line through \( x = 3 \) and the horizontal line through \( y=-1 \) is the point \((3, -1)\). On the given grid, we find the cell where the x - coordinate is 3 (3 units right from 0) and y - coordinate is - 1 (1 unit down from 0) and mark that point.

Answer:

The point \((3, -1)\) is located 3 units to the right on the x - axis and 1 unit down on the y - axis on the coordinate grid.
