Question

Drag the ordered pairs to match the points shown on the coordinate grid. A coordinate plane has an x-axis from 0 to 9 in increments of 1 and a y-axis from 0 to 9 in increments of 1. Point A is plotted 3 units to the right and 6 units above the origin. Point B is plotted 2 units to the right and 3 units above the origin. Point C is plotted 4 units to the right and 2 units above the origin. Point D is plotted 6 units to the right of the origin. (6, 0)(3, 6)(4, 2)(2, 3) Point Coordinates A B C D

Answer 1

The coordinates of the given points A, B, C, and D are matched with the ordered pairs based on their positions in the coordinate plane, resulting in: A is (3, 6), B is (2, 3), C is (4, 2), and D is (6, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

In the coordinate plane, the position of a point is given by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length. The horizontal axis is called the x-axis, and the vertical axis is called the y-axis. The coordinate values are written as an ordered pair (x, y).

For the given question:

• Point A lies 3 units to the right and 6 units above the origin, so its coordinates are (3, 6).
• Point B lies 2 units to the right and 3 units above the origin, so its coordinates are (2, 3).
• Point C lies 4 units to the right and 2 units above the origin, so its coordinates are (4, 2).
• Point D lies 6 units to the right of the origin and does not move up or down, so its coordinate is (6, 0).

Matching the points with the given coordinates, we assign:

• Point A to (3, 6)
• Point B to (2, 3)
• Point C to (4, 2)
• Point D to (6, 0)
