Question

Karen graphed a fraction that has a denominator greater than the numerator. Which point did Karen graph?

a) (2, 3)
b) (-3, 1)
c) (5, 5)
d) (-1, 2)

Answer 1

The correct point that Karen graphed, with a fraction where the denominator is greater than the numerator, is (d) (-1, 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked which point Karen graphed if she graphed a fraction where the denominator is greater than the numerator. To find the answer, we need to look for a point where the y-coordinate (numerator) is less than the x-coordinate (denominator).

• (2, 3) - The numerator (y-coordinate) is greater than the denominator (x-coordinate).
• (-3, 1) - The numerator is smaller than the denominator, but since the denominator is negative, this does not represent a proper fraction (with a positive denominator).
• (5, 5) - The numerator and denominator are equal, so this is not what we are looking for.
• (-1, 2) - The numerator is smaller than the denominator, which matches the conditions given by the student.

Therefore, the correct answer is (d) (-1, 2).
