Question

A is plotted on a coordinate grid at start bracket 3 and 1 over 2, negative 1 end bracket.. Choose the correct grid that best shows the location of the point. A coordinate grid that shows a point located 4 units to the left and 1 unit down from the origin. A coordinate grid that shows a point located halfway between 3 and 4 units to the right and 1 unit down from the origin. A coordinate grid that shows a point located halfway between 3 and 4 units to the left and 1 unit up from the origin. A coordinate grid that shows a point located halfway between 3 and 4 units to the right and 1 unit up from the origin.

Answer 2

Answer:

A coordinate grid that shows a point located halfway between 3 and 4 units to the right and 1 unit down from the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

In a coordinate grid, the y axis is plotted on the vertical axis and the x axis is plotted on the horizontal axis. A is plotted on a coordinate grid at ($3\frac{1}{2},-1$) i.e ($\frac{7}{2},-1$). Above the origin is the positive y axis, below the origin is the negative y axis, right of the origin is the positive x axis and left of the origin is the negative x axis.

To plot A on the coordinate axis we need to locate $3\frac{1}{2}$ on the x axis and -1 on the y axis.  $3\frac{1}{2}$ is halfway between 3 and 4, since the x coordinate is positive it is located to the right between 3 and 4 and since the y coordinate is negative it is located 1 unit down from the origin.
