Question

Which point is located at (2, -3)?

Answer 1

Point K because its x-coordinate is at 2 and its y-coordinate is at -3.

A) Point K

Answer 2

Point K

Explanation:

Remember, in a rectangular coordinate plane, every point is shown as (x, y)

x is moving left and right while y moves up and down. Looking at the point provided, (2, -3).

x = 2

A positive x value means the point will be shifted to the right, while the number 2 tells you to shift to the right 2 units.

y = -3

A negative y value means the point will be shifted down, while the number -3 tells you to shift down 3 units.

Now, looking at the graph, starting at (0, 0), move to the right 2 units and move down 3 units. The point resting at this point is Point K.
