Move 3.5 units to the left on the x-axis and 2.75 units down on the y-axis. Mark the intersection as the point required.
How to locate a point on the Cartesian coordinates plane.
Given
(-3 1/2, -2 3/4)
This equivalent to
-3 1/2 = -3.5
-2 3/4 = -2.75
The point becomes (-3.5, -2.75)
Where
x coordinate = -3.5
y coordinate = -2.75
On the Cartesian coordinates plane locate -3.5 on the negative x-axis and -2.75 on the negative y-axis follow the points vertically and horizontally until the intersect. Mark the point of intersection as (-3.5, -2.75). The point of intersection is the required point to be plotted.
The point is located in the third quadrant.
