Math Problem Statement

Graph the points (-3, -3.5) and (-1, 2) on the coordinate plane.

Solution

The problem asks to graph the points (3,3.5)(-3, -3.5) and (1,2)(-1, 2) on the coordinate plane.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Locate the point (-3, -3.5):

    • From the origin (0,0)(0,0), move 3 units to the left (since x=3x = -3).
    • Then, move 3.5 units down (since y=3.5y = -3.5).
    • Plot the point at (3,3.5)(-3, -3.5).
  2. Locate the point (-1, 2):

    • From the origin (0,0)(0,0), move 1 unit to the left (since x=1x = -1).
    • Then, move 2 units up (since y=2y = 2).
    • Plot the point at (1,2)(-1, 2).

Once both points are plotted, you can submit the graph.

Would you like a detailed explanation of graphing points or have any other questions?

Here are five related questions:

  1. How do you graph a point with decimal coordinates like (3,3.5)(-3, -3.5)?
  2. How do negative values of xx and yy affect the movement on a coordinate plane?
  3. What is the importance of the origin (0,0)(0, 0) in graphing points?
  4. How can you determine the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?
  5. What are the different quadrants in the coordinate plane, and how do you identify which quadrant a point is in?

Tip: Always start from the origin when plotting points, and move horizontally first (for xx) and vertically second (for yy).
