Math Problem Statement

Which point represents the ordered pair (-3, 5)?

Solution

The question asks, "Which point represents the ordered pair (-3, 5)?" To determine this:

  1. The x-coordinate is -3, meaning the point is 3 units to the left of the y-axis.
  2. The y-coordinate is 5, meaning the point is 5 units above the x-axis.

Looking at the graph:

  • Point A is at (-3, 5). It is 3 units left and 5 units up, which matches the given ordered pair.

Therefore, the correct answer is A.


Would you like further explanation or have any questions? Here are some related questions for practice:

  1. Which point represents the ordered pair (3, -5)?
  2. How can you determine the quadrant of a point using its coordinates?
  3. What are the coordinates of point C in this graph?
  4. What is the distance between points A and B on this graph?
  5. How do you reflect the point (-3, 5) over the x-axis?

Tip: Remember, the first number in an ordered pair is the x-coordinate (horizontal position), and the second number is the y-coordinate (vertical position).
