Question

what is the x - coordinate of point t?
x - coordinate:

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the point \( T \) on the coordinate plane.

In a coordinate system, for a point \( (x,y) \), \( x \) is the horizontal ( \( x \)-axis) coordinate.

Step2: Determine the \( x \)-value.

Moving horizontally from the origin ( \( 0,0 \)) to the point \( T \), we count the units. Each grid - square represents 1 unit. Point \( T \) is 3 units to the left of the origin. Since moving left on the \( x \)-axis gives a negative \( x \)-value, the \( x \)-coordinate of point \( T \) is \( - 3\).

Answer:

\(-3\)
