A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and y-axis ranging from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Three points are plotted. One point is located in quadrant two and positioned at 1 increment along the x-axis and 6 increments along the y-axis. One point is located in quadrant 2 and positioned at 3 increments along the x-axis and 2 increments along the y-axis. One point is located in quadrant three and positioned at 5 increments along the x-axis and 2 increments along the y-axis.

Choose the ordered pairs that are plotted on this coordinate grid.

To determine which ordered pairs correspond to the points described, let's first analyze the coordinates of the points based on the information provided:

  1. The first point is located in quadrant two, positioned at 1 increment along the x-axis and 6 increments along the y-axis. Since it is in quadrant two, the coordinates will be (-1, 6).

  2. The second point is also in quadrant two, positioned at 3 increments along the x-axis (which is -3 since it's in quadrant two) and 2 increments along the y-axis. This point is therefore (-3, 2).

  3. The third point is located in quadrant three, positioned at 5 increments along the x-axis (which is -5 since it's in quadrant three) and 2 increments along the y-axis (which is also negative, so -2). This gives the point (-5, -2).

Based on these points:

  • The first point is (-1, 6)
  • The second point is (-3, 2)
  • The third point is (-5, -2)

Now I will look for the matching ordered pairs:

  • From the options given:
    • (−2,−5), (2,−3), (6,−1)
    • (−5,2), (−3,2), (−1,6)
    • (5,−2), (3,2), (1,6)
    • (−5,−2), (−3,2), (−1,6)

The correct response with the points we determined would be: (−5,−2), (−3,2), (−1,6).
