Question

Amanda placed her finger on the origin of a regular coordinate plane. She marked a point after moving her finger 1 unit to the left and 5 units down. What is the order pair of the point that Amanda marked?

Question 1 options:

(1, -5)


(1, 5)


(-1, 5)


(-1, -5)

Answer 1

Last Option

Explanation:

In a graph, there are 4 section she moved to the bottom left of the graph. She was at point (0,0) --- (aka origin).

When we move left we are going down in value, it's the same case with moving down. When we move up and right we increase in value.

In Amanda's case she moves down and left, she goes left 1 unit affecting the x-axis (-1) and she moves down affecting the y-axis(-5).

Now we haev two numbers -1 and -5.

So she is at point (-1, -5)

Answer 2

(-1, -5)

Explanation:

Moving 1 to the left means moving from 0 to -1 for the x-coordinate

Moving 5 to the bottom means moving from 0 to -5 for the y-coordinate
