Question

Which point is best represented by the ordered pair (2, -5.5)?A point Wb point Vc point Sd point R

Answer 1

By definition, a point has the following form:

`(x,y)`

Where "x" is the x-coordinate (which can be positive or negative) and "y" the y-coordinate (which can be positive or negative).

You can see in the Coordinate plane given in the exercise, that the points W, V, S and R are plotted.

You have the point:

`(2,-5.5)`

You can identify that x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of this point are:

`\begin{gathered} x=2 \\ y=-5.5 \end{gathered}`

Then, since the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative, the point is located in this Quadrant:

Therefore, based on the above, you can identify that:

`W(2,-5.5)`

The answer is: Option A.
