Answer:

R (27, 8)

Explanation:

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional plane consisting of the y axis (vertical line) and x-axis (horizontal line). The origin is known as the zero point (reference point) is the intersection of the x axis and y axis.

A point on the coordinate plane is represented by (x, y) where x is the x coordinate and y the y coordinate.

Given point Q = (18, 5), the x coordinate is 18 and the y coordinate is 5.

Let the location of point R = (a, b)

a = x-coordinate of point Q + 1/2 of x-coordinate of point Q = 18 + (1/2)*18 = 27

b = y-coordinate of point Q + 3 = 5 + 3 = 8

Therefore R = (27, 8)
