Question

Bernadette says that the plotted point is located at (-5,-4 1/2). what is bernadette error​

Answer 1

Answer:

• The y-coordinate should be $-3\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The red point is in the third quadrant where both x and y coordinates are negative.

The first number of an ordered pair is the x-coordinate, and the second number is the y-coordinate.

The point that Bernardette wrote $(-5,-4\frac{1}{2})$ has x-coordinate -5 and y-coordinate $-4\frac{1}{2}$.

To find the x-coordinate of the red point, you go straight up, vertically up, until to you get the x-axys, then read the mark where you intercepted the axis. In this case it is -5. Hence, the x-coordinate of the point that Bernardette wrote is correct.

To find the y-coordinate of the red point, you move horizontally to the right until you get the y-axis. Then, read the mark. In this case it is halfway between -3 and  -4. That is $-3\frac{1}{2}$ . Hence, the correct choice is the last one: The y-coordinate should be $-3\frac{1}{2}$.
