Question

Write the ordered pair for the point S.

Answer 1

Given:

The location of point S on a coordinate plane.

To find:

The ordered pair for the point S.

Solution:

A point is defined as (x,y), where, |x| is the distance between the point and y-axis, and |y| be the distance between the point and x-axis. Signs of coordinates depend on the quadrant.

From the given graph it is clear that,

Distance between S and y-axis = 3.5

Distance between S and x-axis = 5.5

Point S lies in 3rd quadrant, it means x- and y-coordinates are negative.

Therefore, the ordered pair of point S is (-3.5,-5.5).
