Question

What are the coordinates of point P on the coordinate grid below?

the ordered pair 5 over 8, negative 3 over 8

the ordered pair negative 5 over 8, negative 3 over 8

the ordered pair negative 5 over 8, 3 over 8

the ordered pair 5 over 8, 3 over 8

Answer 1

If you look carefully at the grid, you will see that each increment is by 1/8.

That means that for the x-coordinate of P, you can count from -4/8 to get -5/8.

For the y-coordinate, you can count up from 0 to get 3/8.

Then, the answer is (-5/8, 3/8), or the third answer.
