To determine the coordinates of point M after the plane flies from the origin (0, 0), we need to apply the movements described.
1. The plane flies 0.5 units to the right. This means we add 0.5 to the x-coordinate:
- New x-coordinate = 0 + 0.5 = 0.5
2. The plane then flies 3.5 units down. This means we subtract 3.5 from the y-coordinate:
- New y-coordinate = 0 - 3.5 = -3.5
So the coordinates of point M are \( (0.5, -3.5) \).
Therefore, the correct response is:
**(0.5, −3.5)**.
