Question

first quadrant coordinates
a coordinate plane is used to show the location of certain places in a city. on the coordinate plane, the science museum is represented by a star. which ordered pair identifies the museum’s location?
a (2, 4)
b (4, 2)
c (5, 3)
d (3, 6)
on the coordinate plane, a heart shows where the library is located. which ordered pair represents the location of the library?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate plane rules

In a coordinate plane, an ordered pair \((x, y)\) has \(x\) as the horizontal (left - right) distance from the origin, and \(y\) as the vertical (up - down) distance from the origin.

Step2: Analyze the star's position

For the star (science museum):

• Move horizontally (along the \(x\) - axis) from the origin. We can see that it is 2 units to the right. So \(x = 2\).
• Move vertically (along the \(y\) - axis) from the origin. We can see that it is 4 units up. So \(y=4\).
• So the ordered pair for the star (science museum) is \((2, 4)\).

Step3: Analyze the heart's position (for the second sub - question, though not fully asked, but for completeness)

For the heart (library):

• Move horizontally from the origin: 5 units to the right, so \(x = 5\).
• Move vertically from the origin: 3 units up, so \(y = 3\). So the ordered pair is \((5, 3)\). But since the first sub - question is about the museum (star), we focus on that.

Answer:

For the science museum (star) location, the answer is A. (2, 4)
