Question

The coordinates of Point A are (-5, -1). Point B has the same x-coordinate as Point A. The y-coordinate of point B has the same absolute value but the opposite sign of the y-coordinate. Which ordered pair represents point B? *

Answer 1

(-5, 1)

Explanation:

The problem says that point B has the same x-coordinate as point A.

The x-coordinate of point A is -5, so the x-coordinate of point B is -5 as well.

The y-coordinate of point B has the same absolute value but the opposite sign of the y-coordinate, so if the y-coordinate of point A is -1, the y-coordinate of point B is 1

Then, the ordered pair that represents point B is (-5, 1).
