Question

Determine the coordinates of the point shown. A coordinate grid shown. There are increments of 0.5 for each grid line on each of the two axes. A point is located at 3 grid lines to the right and 5 grid lines down from the origin. (3, −5) (1, −2) (1.5, −2.5) (−2.5, 1.5)

Answer 1

Grid lines to the right represent positive numbers for the first coordinate. 3 of them will put you on a grid line with a value of 3×0.5 = 1.5.

You now know enough to select the correct answer, ...

... (1.5, -2.5)

_____

You can confirm this is the correct answer by figuring the second coordinate. Down represents negative numbers, so down 5 units is -(5×0.5) = -2.5. This matches the second coordinate of the chosen answer.
