Question

What are the coordinates of point P on the coordinate grid below?

Answer 1

Answer:

the ordered pair negative 6 over 8, 2 over 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Point P is plotted at the sixth grid line to the left of the y-axis

Going to the left of the y axis means negative, to the right is positive

We go left 6 units, each unit is 1/8

-6 * 1/6 = -6/8

That is the x coordinate

Second grid line above the x-axis.

Going up is positive and down would be negative

We go up 2 units, each unit is 1/8

+2 * 1/8= 2/8

That is the y coordinate

(-6/8, 2/8)
