question 25 of 25
which ordered pair describes the location of the point shown on the
coordinate system below?

a. (3, 5)
b. (-5, 3)
c. (3, -5)
d. (-5, -3)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine x - coordinate

To find the x - coordinate, we look at the horizontal (x - axis) position of the point. The point is to the right of the origin (since it's in the positive x - direction). Counting the units from the y - axis, we see that the x - coordinate is 3.

Step2: Determine y - coordinate

To find the y - coordinate, we look at the vertical (y - axis) position of the point. The point is below the origin (since it's in the negative y - direction). Counting the units from the x - axis, we see that the y - coordinate is - 5.

Step3: Form the ordered pair

An ordered pair is in the form (x, y). Using the x - coordinate (3) and y - coordinate (-5), the ordered pair is (3, - 5).

Answer:

C. (3, -5)
