Question

an x y coordinate grid with points a, b, c, and d. point a is 5 units above the origin and 2 units to the right of the origin. point b is 5 units above the origin and 5 units to the right of the origin. point c is 2 units above the origin and 5 units to the right of the origin. point d is 2 units above the origin and 2 units to the right of the origin. which point is located at (2, 5)?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand coordinate system

In a coordinate pair \((x,y)\), \(x\) is the horizontal (right - left) coordinate and \(y\) is the vertical (up - down) coordinate.

Step2: Analyze each point

• For point \(A\): \(x = 2\) (2 units to the right of the origin) and \(y=5\) (5 units above the origin). So the coordinate of point \(A\) is \((2,5)\).
• For point \(B\): \(x = 5\) (5 units to the right of the origin) and \(y = 5\) (5 units above the origin). So the coordinate of point \(B\) is \((5,5)\).
• For point \(C\): \(x = 5\) (5 units to the right of the origin) and \(y=2\) (2 units above the origin). So the coordinate of point \(C\) is \((5,2)\).
• For point \(D\): \(x = 2\) (2 units to the right of the origin) and \(y = 2\) (2 units above the origin). So the coordinate of point \(D\) is \((2,2)\).

Answer:

Point \(A\)
