Question:
The temperatures at several times of the day are shown in the coordinate plane below. The x-axis represents the number of hours before or afternoon. For example, -1 would represent 11 a.m. The y-axis represents the temperature in degrees Celsius.At 5 p.m, the temperature is halfway between the temperature at 2 p.m. and the temperature at 8 p.m.
What coordinates represent the temperature at 5 p.m.?
Answer:
(5, 2)
=> At 5pm, the temperature is at 2⁰C
Step-by-step Explanation:
Coordinates of any point on a cartesian/coordinate plane is represented by (x, y). Where x is the number at the point on z-axis, while y is the number at the same point on the y-axis.
From the diagram of the coordinate plane attached below, we can simply find out what coordinates represent the temperature at 5pm.
==> Given that the temperature at 5pm is half way between the temperature at 2pm (y=7) and temperature at 8pm (y=-3), the point that is being referred to = [7+(-3)] ÷ 2 = ⁴/2 = 2 (i.e. 2 on the y axis representing temperature)
*The position of the point is indicated in the second picture that is attached below.
At that position of the point, we have 2 as the coordinate for the y axis representing temperature, and at that same position, we have 5 on the x-axis representing the number of hours.
Therefore, coordinates of the point (x, y) representing 5p.m = (5, 2)
==> At 5pm, the temperature is at 2⁰C
