Question

identifying ordered pairs
examine the worked example and then answer each question.
each point shown on the coordinate plane is an ordered pair.
point j is 10 units to the right of the origin and 4 units up from the origin. so, the
ordered pair that represents point j is (10, 4).
point k is 6 units to the left or right of the origin and 6 units up from the origin. so, the
consider point m.
the x - coordinate of the point is - 3.
the y - coordinate of the point is - 6.
point m is located at ( , ).
consider point n.
the x - coordinate of the point is
the y - coordinate of the point is
point n is located at ( , ).

Explanation:

Step1: Locate point M

In a coordinate system, the \(x\)-coordinate is the horizontal value and the \(y\)-coordinate is the vertical value. For point \(M\), we look at its position on the \(x\)-axis (horizontal) and \(y\)-axis (vertical). The \(x\)-coordinate of \(M\) is \(- 3\) (3 units to the left of the origin) and the \(y\)-coordinate is \(2\) (2 units up from the origin). So, point \(M\) is located at \((-3,2)\).

Step2: Locate point N

For point \(N\), the \(x\)-coordinate is \(6\) (6 units to the right of the origin) and the \(y\)-coordinate is \(-4\) (4 units down from the origin). So, point \(N\) is located at \((6,-4)\).

Answer:

Point \(M\) is located at \((-3,2)\) and point \(N\) is located at \((6,-4)\).
