Question

On the map of an amusement park on a coordinate grid, the skating rink is at (0.5, −1).

Coordinate grid shown from negative 3 to positive 3 on x-axis and negative 3 to positive 3 on y-axis. There are increments of 1 over 2 for each grid line on each of the two axes. Only the whole numbers are labeled on either side of the axis.

Which of these shows how to plot the point to mark the skating rink?

From the origin, move 1 unit to the left along the x-axis and 0.5 unit vertically down, and place the point.
From the origin, move 0.5 unit to the left along the x-axis and 1 unit vertically down, and place the point.
From the origin, move 1 unit to the right along the x-axis and 0.5 unit vertically down, and place the point.
From the origin, move 0.5 unit to the right along the x-axis and 1 unit vertically down, and place the point.

Answer 1

answer is d

Explanation:

Answer 2

The last option is correct. "From the origin, move 0.5 unit to the right along the x-axis and 1 unit vertically down, and place the point. "

Explanation:

You can move 0.5 to the left to get to the coordinates x, and 1 unit down to the coordinates y.
