Question

Collete mapped her vegetable garden on the graph below. Each unit represents 1 foot.

Collete plants an 8-foot row of lettuce in the garden. Which points could tell where the row of
lettuce starts and ends?
(-1,-6) and (8, –6)
(-4, -1) and (-4,7)
(-6, -1) and (-6,8)
(-1,-4) and (7,-4)
Help pls

Answer 1

(-4,-1) and (-4,7)

Explanation:

If Collete planted a row of lettuce, that means their coordinates must have the same vertical coordinate, or the same horizontal coordinate. Another important characteristic is that between those points, there must have 8 units of separation, because it's an 8-foot row.

Only the first choice offers these characteristic to properly represent the row of plants with 8 feet distance between the first and the last plant.

Therefore, the answer is (-4,-1) and (-4,7)
