Question

Ms. Juhal was making t-shirts. One of the designs had the instructions to make points at the following locations and then draw lines to connect the points in order: A (-5,5); B(-5,3);C(-5,1); and D (2,1)

Answer 1

See the picture attached.

The shape created is a Triangle.

Explanation:

The missing part is: "Connect them in order: A to B, B to C, C to D, and then D back to A. What shape is created?"

For this exercise it is important to remember that, given a point
`P(x,y)`, "x" is the the x-coordinate of the point and "y" is the y-coordinate of the point.

In this case, Ms. Juhal has the following points:

1) Point
`A (-5,5)`

Where you can identify that:

`x=-5;y=5`

2) Point
`B(-5,3)`

Where:

`x=-5;y=3`

3) Point
`C(-5,1)`

Where you can observe that:

`x=-5;y=1`

4) Point
`D (2,1)`

Where:

`x=2;y=1`

Therefore, knowing the coordinates of each point, you can plot them and connect them in order (Observe the picture attached).

Finally, you can identify that the shape created is a Triangle.
