Question

graph the point (-2, 2) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - coordinate

The x - coordinate of the point \((-2,2)\) is \(-2\). Locate \(-2\) on the x - axis (the horizontal axis).

Step2: Identify y - coordinate

The y - coordinate of the point \((-2,2)\) is \(2\). Locate \(2\) on the y - axis (the vertical axis).

Step3: Plot the point

From the position of \(x=-2\) on the x - axis, move up until you reach the level of \(y = 2\) on the y - axis. Mark the point at the intersection of the vertical line through \(x=-2\) and the horizontal line through \(y = 2\).

(Visually, on the given grid, find the column corresponding to \(x=-2\) (the column where the x - axis value is \(-2\)) and the row corresponding to \(y = 2\) (the row where the y - axis value is \(2\)) and mark the cell at their intersection.)

Answer:

The point \((-2,2)\) is plotted by finding the intersection of the vertical line through \(x=-2\) and the horizontal line through \(y = 2\) on the coordinate plane.
