Question

graph the points $(-1.5, -4)$, $(-4, -5)$, and $(5, 0.5)$ on the coordinate plane. click to graph a point. click the point again to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the x - coordinate

For the point \((-1.5,-4)\), start at the origin. Move \(1.5\) units to the left along the x - axis (since \(x=-1.5\)).
For the point \((-4,-5)\), move \(4\) units to the left along the x - axis (since \(x = - 4\)).
For the point \((5,0.5)\), move \(5\) units to the right along the x - axis (since \(x = 5\)).

Step2: Locate the y - coordinate

For the point \((-1.5,-4)\), from \(x=-1.5\), move \(4\) units down along the y - axis (since \(y=-4\)).
For the point \((-4,-5)\), from \(x = - 4\), move \(5\) units down along the y - axis (since \(y=-5\)).
For the point \((5,0.5)\), from \(x = 5\), move \(0.5\) units up along the y - axis (since \(y = 0.5\)).

Answer:

The point \((-1.5,-4)\) is \(1.5\) units left of the y - axis and \(4\) units below the x - axis. The point \((-4,-5)\) is \(4\) units left of the y - axis and \(5\) units below the x - axis. The point \((5,0.5)\) is \(5\) units right of the y - axis and \(0.5\) units above the x - axis. Graph these points on the coordinate plane as per the above - described movements.
