Sophie was asked to plot the 0, 5 she started at the origin move eight units up and 5 units the right and plotted her point explain what Sophie did wrong and determine what point she actually plotted to plot the pointers 8, 5 start at the origin and move A 13 units to the right B a unit to the right in 5 units up C a units to the right and 5 units to the left D a units up in 5 units and down Sophie actually plotted the point A 0, 3 B three, zero C five, eight D 13, 0

To clarify what Sophie did and what the incorrect plotting led to, let's examine her instructions and how to correctly plot the point (8, 5).

  1. Starting point: The origin is at (0, 0).
  2. Moving 8 units up: This means adding 8 to the y-coordinate, going from (0, 0) to (0, 8).
  3. Moving 5 units to the right: This means adding 5 to the x-coordinate, going from (0, 8) to (5, 8).

However, in your question, you mention she moves "eight units up and 5 units the right," which should not lead to the correct point (8, 5).

Based on this, it seems Sophie plotted the point incorrectly. The procedure described should have led her to plot the point (5, 8), not (8, 5).

Now, let's analyze the options presented and compute what Sophie actually plotted based on the choices given. If Sophie ended up at (5, 8) instead of (8, 5), let's compare the options:

  • A. (0, 3)
  • B. (3, 0)
  • C. (5, 8)
  • D. (13, 0)

Among these, Option C (5, 8) is the point that Sophie actually plotted based on her navigation.

To summarize:

Sophie intended to plot the point (8, 5), but based on her movements she incorrectly plotted (5, 8). The closest provided answer that describes what she plotted correctly is: C. (5, 8).
