Question

QUICK, HELP!!!

Hassan plotted point M in the coordinate plane below.

On a coordinate plane, Point M is 0.5 units to the left and 0.25 units down.

He says that the plotted point is (0.5, 0.25). What is Hassan’s error?
The x- and y-coordinates are switched.
Both coordinates should be negative.
The x-coordinate should be -2.
The y-coordinate should be -1.

Answer 1

Both coordinates should be negative

Explanation:

When you go to plot a point, you always start at (0,0). Since you go left 0.5 units, that would put you at -0.5, then you go down 0.25 units which would put you at (-0.5, -0.25). The result would be (-0.5, -0.25). Hope this helps! :)
