Question

Which point is located at (5, –2)?

Answer 1

Answer:

Point D is located at (5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates are in the form of (x,y) so that means the point has the x value of 5 and the y value of -2

Answer 2

Answer: Point D

Explanation:

The origin is the center of the grid. This is where the x and y axis meet. The location of this point is (0,0).

Start at the origin and move 5 places to the right. Note how the x coordinate is 5 which tells us how to move left/right. Positive x values mean we go right.

Then we go down 2 spots to arrive at point D. We move down because the y coordinate is negative.

You could also start at (0,0) and go down 2 first, then to the right 5 to also arrive at point D. Convention usually has x going first as (x,y) has x listed first.
