Question

The point (-2, 7) is graphed on a coordinate plane. The point is located 2 units ____ the origin and 7 units ____ the origin.

a) Left, Up
b) Right, Down
c) Left, Down
d) Right, Up

Answer 1

The point (-2, 7) on a coordinate plane is two units to the left and seven units up from the origin, corresponding to options a) Left, Up.

Step-by-step explanation:

The point (-2, 7) is graphed on a coordinate plane. This point is located 2 units horizontally to the left side of the coordinate system from the origin because the x-coordinate is negative, and it is located 7 units vertically upward in the coordinate system from the origin because the y-coordinate is positive. Hence, the correct answer is a) Left, Up.
