Question

complete the sentence. to graph the point (8, 3) on the coordinate plane, start at the origin. move 8 units __ and 3 units __. left... down right... down left... up right... up

Explanation:

In a coordinate plane, the first number in an ordered pair \((x, y)\) represents the horizontal movement (x - axis). Positive \(x\) values mean moving to the right from the origin. The second number represents the vertical movement (y - axis). Positive \(y\) values mean moving up from the origin. For the point \((8,3)\), \(x = 8\) (positive, so right) and \(y=3\) (positive, so up).

Answer:

D. right... up
