Question

The path of a race will be drawn on a coordinate grid like the one shown below. The starting point of the race will be at (−5.3, 1). The finishing point will be at (1, −5.3).
Part A: Use the grid to determine in which quadrants the starting point and the finishing point are located. Explain how you determined the locations. (6 points)

Part B: A checkpoint will be at (5.3, 1). In at least two sentences, describe the difference between the coordinates of the starting point and the checkpoint, and explain how the points are related. (4 points)

Answer 1

The Cartesian coordinate plane, specify locations by a pair of coordinates that indicate the magnitude in perpendicular, x, and y directions

The correct responses are;

• Part A: The starting point is in the second quadrant and the finishing point is in the fourth quadrant.

• Part B: The starting point and the check point are on different quadrant. Both points are on the same horizontal line.

Reasons:

The location of the start point of the race = (-5.3, 1)

Location of the finishing point = (1, -5.3)

Part A: The signs of the x and y-values in the quadrants are;

• $\begin{tabular}{|cc|c|}Quad II, x -ve, y +ve&&Quad I, x, and y are +ve\\&&\\Quad III, x -ve, y -ve&&Quad IV, x +ve, y -ve\end{array}\right]$

The coordinates of the starting point is (-5.3, 1), therefore, given that the x-

coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive, the quadrant of the

starting point is quadrant II (the second quadrant).

• The quadrant of the starting point is the second quadrant.

The coordinates of the finishing point is (1, -5.3), the x-value is positive and

the y-value is negative, which indicates that the quadrant of the finishing

point is quadrant IV (the fourth quadrant).

• The quadrant of the finishing point is the fourth quadrant.

Part B: The location of the checkpoint is; (5.3, 1)

The difference is that the x-value of the checkpoint is positive while the x-value of the starting point is negative, and they are therefore on different quadrants.

The similarity is that, the magnitude of the x, and y values of the coordinates of the check point and the starting point are the same. Therefore, the checkpoint and the starting point are on the same horizontal line.
