When we look at an ordered pair, it will be presented as (x,y)

The first term, x (called the x-coordinate), will tell us how far we should count outwards from 0 (The Origin). The second term, y (called the y-coordinate), will tell us how far we will count outwards from our x coordinate.

I hope this helps! If you would like me to elaborate more just let me know:)

Which point shows the location of 5 – 2i on the complex plane below? On a coordinate plane, points A, B, C, and D are shown. Poi

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The Point C shows the location of 5-2i in the complex plane: 5 points to the right of the origin and 2 points down from the origin.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the complex number 5-2i and we have to show the location of the point that represents that number in the complex plane

In the complex plane the real numbers are located in the horizontal axis, increasing to the right. The positives real numbers are at the right of the origin and the negatives to the left.

The complex numbers are located in the vertical axis, with the positives over the origin and the negatives below the origin.

This complex number 5-2i is the sum of a real part (5) and a imaginary part (-2i), so the point will be 5 units rigth on the horizontal axis (for the real part) and 2 units down in the vertical axis (for the imaginary part).
