Hi!

I can help you with joy!

Are these ordered pairs the same? Do they name the same point?

(8, -9) and (-9,8) are our points.

The x-coordinate of one point is 8, and the x-coordinate of the second point is -9.

The y-coordinate of the first point is -9, and the y-coordinate of the second point is 8.

Thus, these 2 ordered pairs do not name the same point.

The statement is false.

I hope this helps!

Ask me if you have any questions or doubts.
