Question

How would you locate the point (-3, +7) on a coordinate grid? STsrt at the origin.

A) move right 3 and up 7.
B) move left 3 and up 7.
C) move down 3 and left 7.
D) move down 3 and right 7.

Answer 1

Your answer is B.

Explanation:

Since the origin is 0, start at 0.

Next, since the x coordinate is always first, we would move left 3, as the numbers on the left are negative.

Next, we would move up 7 from that point, and that is where the point (-3, 7) is located on a coordinate grid.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

The first number is the X value, since it is a negative number, it moves to the left.

The second number is the Y value and is positive, so it would move up.

The correct answer would be B. move 3 to the left and up 7.
