Math Problem Statement

PLOT THE FOLLOWING POINTS ON NUMBER PLANE AND JOIN THEM TO FORM A STRAIGHT LINE X -2 -1 0 1 2 Y 2 1 0 -1 -2

Solution

To plot the points on the number plane and join them to form a straight line, we have the following pairs of coordinates:

  • (-2, 2)
  • (-1, 1)
  • (0, 0)
  • (1, -1)
  • (2, -2)

We can plot these points on the coordinate plane:

  1. Point (-2, 2) is 2 units above the origin and 2 units to the left.
  2. Point (-1, 1) is 1 unit above the origin and 1 unit to the left.
  3. Point (0, 0) is at the origin.
  4. Point (1, -1) is 1 unit below the origin and 1 unit to the right.
  5. Point (2, -2) is 2 units below the origin and 2 units to the right.

When you connect all these points, they form a straight line.

I can also generate a graph to show this. Would you like me to do that for you?
