Math Problem Statement
Find the x- and y-coordinates of the point E in the grid.
Solution
To determine the x- and y-coordinates of point E, let's refer to the grid shown in the image.
Looking at the grid:
- The x-axis is horizontal, and the y-axis is vertical.
- Point E appears to be located at the intersection of the grid lines.
Let's count the position of point E:
- X-coordinate: Starting from the origin (0,0), E is positioned 1 unit to the right, so the x-coordinate is 1.
- Y-coordinate: E is located 2 units below the origin, making the y-coordinate -2.
Thus, the coordinates of point E are (1, -2).
Would you like a detailed explanation or have any further questions?
Here are five additional questions to deepen your understanding:
- How can you find the coordinates of any point on a grid like this one?
- What is the significance of negative y-values in coordinate geometry?
- How does the placement of the origin affect the coordinates of points?
- How would the coordinates change if the axes were shifted?
- Can you explain how the signs of the coordinates determine the quadrant in which a point lies?
Tip: Always move from the origin (0,0) first horizontally (for the x-coordinate) and then vertically (for the y-coordinate) to find any point’s coordinates on a grid.
