Question

On the map of an amusement park on a coordinate grid, the skating rink is at (−1.5, −1).

Which of these shows how to plot the point to mark the skating rink?

From the origin, move 1.5 units to the left along the x-axis and 1 unit vertically down, and place the point.
From the origin, move 1 unit to the left along the x-axis and 1.5 units vertically down, and place the point.
From the origin, move 1 unit to the right along the x-axis and 1.5 units vertically down, and place the point.
From the origin, move 1.5 units to the right along the x-axis and 1 unit vertically down, and place the point.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

Answer 2

Start at the origin. This is where the x and y axis meet
x axis = horizontal axis numberline
y axis = vertical axis numberline

From the origin, then move 1.5 units to the left. This is what it means when x is negative. We move that amount to the left.

The y coordinate is -1 so we move down 1 unit

Answer: Choice A
