Question

Which point represents the origin? (2 points)

Part B: Starting from the origin, explain how to plot the following three points accurately:

(2, −2)

(−2, 1.5)

(−1, fraction 2 over 4 )

Answer 1

The origin is the point (0,0)

(2,-2) Start at the origin and move 2 unit right along the x axis, from there move down 2 units. Place a point at that location.

(-2, 1.5) Start at the origin and move 2 units left along the x axis, from there move up 1.5 space and place a point.

(-1, 2/4) Start at the origin and move left 1 unit along the x axis, from there move up 1/2 a unit and place a point. 2/4 is the same as 1/2
