Answer 1

(0, 6)

Explanation:

Point T has a coordinate pair of (3, 4). That is, at point T, x = 3, while y = 4.

3 points to the left of T would be a movement on the x-axis. This movement is a run across the x-axis. At T, x = 3. Therefore, 3 points to the left would be a decrease by 3 = 3 - 3 = 0.

3 points to the left of T would leave us with an x coordinate of 0.

2 points above T suggest a rise, which is on the y-axis.

Therefore, at T, y = 4. 2 points above 4 = 4 + 2 = 6. y coordinate would now be 6.

In conclusion, the ordered pair representing 3 points to the left, and 2 points above point T is (0, 6).
