Question

mei graphed the locations of several places in her town on the coordinate plane shown below.
which location has an x-coordinate of 6?
choose 1 answer:
a grocery store
b school
c hospital
d courthouse

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate system rules

In a coordinate system, a point is represented as \((x,y)\), where \(x\) is the \(x -\)coordinate (horizontal value) and \(y\) is the \(y -\)coordinate (vertical value).

Step2: Find \(x = 6\) for each location

• Grocery Store: The coordinates of the Grocery Store are \((6,6)\). Here, the \(x -\)coordinate is \(6\).
• School: The coordinates of the School are \((7,0)\). The \(x -\)coordinate is \(7\).
• Hospital: The coordinates of the Hospital are \((7,-8)\). The \(x -\)coordinate is \(7\).
• Courthouse: The coordinates of the Courthouse are \((-4,6)\). The \(x -\)coordinate is \(-4\).

Answer:

A. Grocery Store
