Math Problem Statement

Locate the points P(4, 6), Q(-2, 1), R(0, -3), and S(-5, -4) on the coordinate plane and match them with their coordinates.

Solution

The image shows a coordinate plane with labeled points P(4,6)P(4, 6), Q(2,1)Q(-2, 1), R(0,3)R(0, -3), and S(5,4)S(-5, -4). The task is to match each point with its correct coordinates.

Let's identify each point and its coordinates based on their positions:

  1. Point P (4, 6):

    • Located in the first quadrant, moving 4 units right and 6 units up.
  2. Point Q (-2, 1):

    • Located in the second quadrant, moving 2 units left and 1 unit up.
  3. Point R (0, -3):

    • Located on the y-axis, moving 3 units down.
  4. Point S (-5, -4):

    • Located in the third quadrant, moving 5 units left and 4 units down.
