A. (−7,−4)

B. (6,1)

C. (7,3)

D. (9,9)

E. (2,−8)

Answer 1

B. (6,1)

C. (7,3)

D. (9,9)

Explanation:

In a coordinate pair, the first number is x and the second number is y.

A. -7 + -4 = -11 -11 is less than 6. -11<6

B. 6 + 1 = 7 7 is greater than 6. 7>6

C. 7 + 3 = 10 10 is greater than 6. 10>6

D. 9 + 9 = 18 18 is greater than 6. 18>6

E. 2 + -8 = -6 -6 is less than 6. -6<6
