To find the coordinates of point M, we start at the origin (0, 0). If the plane flies 0.5 units to the right, we add 0.5 to the x-coordinate. If it flies 3.5 units down, we subtract 3.5 from the y-coordinate.
Starting at the origin (0, 0):
- Moving 0.5 units to the right: \(0 + 0.5 = 0.5\) (x-coordinate)
- Moving 3.5 units down: \(0 - 3.5 = -3.5\) (y-coordinate)
Thus, the coordinates of point M are (0.5, -3.5).
The answer is:
**A. (0.5, -3.5)**
Starting at the origin (0, 0):
- Moving 0.5 units to the right: \(0 + 0.5 = 0.5\) (x-coordinate)
- Moving 3.5 units down: \(0 - 3.5 = -3.5\) (y-coordinate)
Thus, the coordinates of point M are (0.5, -3.5).
The answer is:
**A. (0.5, -3.5)**
