Question

1. which pair of points would represent ( p_1 ) and ( p_2 ) on the graph below?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the coordinates of \(P_1\)

For a point \((x,y)\) on the coordinate plane, \(x\) is the horizontal (abscissa) and \(y\) is the vertical (ordinate) value. For \(P_1\), moving 1 unit to the right along the \(x -\)axis (so \(x = 1\)) and 3 units up along the \(y -\)axis (so \(y=3\)). So \(P_1=(1,3)\).

Step2: Determine the coordinates of \(P_2\)

For \(P_2\), moving 3 units to the right along the \(x -\)axis (so \(x = 3\)) and 3 units down along the \(y -\)axis (so \(y=- 3\)). So \(P_2=(3, - 3)\).

Answer:

\(P_1=(1,3)\) and \(P_2=(3,-3)\)
