Ricardo graphed a point by starting at the origin and moving 5 units to the left. Then he moved up 2 units. What is the ordered pair for the point he graphed?

the origin is (0,0) if he moves 5 left he's going into the negative so he'd be at (-5,0) and then he moves 2 up which is positive (-5,2)

Answer:

(-5, 2)

Explanation:

In a coordinate system, the coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

If he moves 5 units to the left, he is moving in the negative direction along the x-axis, and x takes the value -5.

If he moves up 2 units, he is moving in the positive direction along the y-axis, and y takes the value 2.

The ordered pair (x, y) is (-5, 2).
