Question

Use the coordinate grid to determine the coordinates of point P:

A coordinate grid shown from negative 2 to positive 2 on x-axis and negative 2 to positive 2 on y-axis. There are 4 grid lines between a whole unit of the grid. A point labeled P is shown at the intersection of 7 grid lines to the left of the y-axis and 3 grid lines above the x-axis.


What are the coordinates of point P?>>>>>>>>Anwers −1.4, 0.6)

(1.4, −0.6)

(−0.7, 0.3)

(0.7, −0.3)

Answer 1

Answer: ( -1.4, 0.6)

Step-by-step explanation: if you look at a map of a grid then you would do what the question says you would get (-1.4, 0.6).

PS. I also just got this right on my test.

Answer 2

The coordinates of point P are (-1.4,0.6)

Explanation:

We are given A coordinate grid shown from negative 2 to positive 2 on x-axis and negative 2 to positive 2 on y-axis. There are 4 grid lines between a whole unit of the grid.

that means each grid has a value of 0.2.

" A point labeled P is shown at the intersection of 7 grid lines to the left of the y-axis and 3 grid lines above the x-axis "

As P lies on the left of the y-axis and above the x-axis hence the x-value will be negative and y-value will be positive.

According to the given information P lies 7 grid lines to the left of y-axis.

i.e. it has x-value -7×0.2= -1.4

and 3 grid lines above the x-axis i.e. it has y-value:

y-value= 3×0.2=0.6

Hence, the coordinates of Point P are (-1.4,0.6).
