Question

which point has coordinates \\(\left(-1, 4\frac{1}{2}\
ight)\\)? image of coordinate plane with points b, c, d, e; multiple choice options b, c, d, e

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze x - coordinate

The x - coordinate of the point is \(- 1\). So we look for the point that lies on the vertical line \(x=-1\). From the graph, the points on \(x = - 1\) is point \(C\) (since \(x=-1\) is one unit to the left of the origin on the x - axis).

Step2: Analyze y - coordinate

The y - coordinate is \(4\frac{1}{2}=4.5\). We check the y - value of point \(C\). The y - coordinate of point \(C\) is between \(4\) and \(5\), specifically at \(4.5\), which matches \(4\frac{1}{2}\). Points \(B\) has a negative y - coordinate, \(D\) has a y - coordinate of \(- 1\), and \(E\) has an x - coordinate of \(1\), so they do not match.

Answer:

C
