Question

Allie identifies the coordinates of point D as (3, 7). Explain her error and explain how to correctly identify the ordered pair.

Answer 1

`D = (7,3)`

Explanation:

Given

`D = (3,7)`

See attachment for graph

Required

Identify and correct the error

From the attached graph, the coordinate of D is at:

`x = 7`

`y = 3`

So:

Allie's mistake is that, she identifies x as y coordinate and y as the x coordinate.

So, the right coordinate is:

`D = (7,3)`
