Question

Which statements are true about points A, B, and C? Check all that apply. The coordinates of point A are (3, –3). The coordinates of point B are (1, –3). The coordinates of point C are (–2, 2). Point C is the closest to the y-axis. Points A and B are the same distance from the x-axis.

Answer 1

It would be D, B, and E

Explanation:

Because if you plot them and look at them closely then you can see that point a and b are both 3 units and the ones plotted except a are true

Answer 2

Point C is the closest to the y-axis

Explanation:

If the coordinates of a point Z is (x,y), it means that point Z is x units from the x axis and Y units from the y axis.

The coordinates of point A are (3, –3). The coordinates of point B are (1, –3). The coordinates of point C are (–2, 2).

Since coordinates of point A are (3, –3), point A is 3 units from the x axis and 3 units from the y axis.

Since coordinates of point B are (1, –3), point B is 1 units from the x axis and 3 units from the y axis.

Since coordinates of point C are (-2, 2), point C is 2 units from the x axis and 2 units from the y axis.

Therefore, Point C is the closest to the y-axis
