Question

Which set of statements explains how to plot a point at the location (Negative 3 and one-half, negative 2)?
Start at the origin. Move 3 and one-half units right because the x-coordinate is Negative 3 and one-half. Negative 3 and one-half is between 3 and 4. Move 2 units down because the y-coordinate is -2.
Start at the origin. Move 3 and one-half units down because the x-coordinate is Negative 3 and one-half. Negative 3 and one-half is between -3 and -4. Move 2 units left because the y-coordinate is -2.

To plot the point (-3.5, -2), you should start at the origin (0, 0) and follow these instructions:

1. Move **3.5 units left** because the x-coordinate is **-3.5** (negative means left on the x-axis).
2. Move **2 units down** because the y-coordinate is **-2** (negative means down on the y-axis).

Thus, the correct set of statements is:

**Start at the origin. Move 3 and one-half units left because the x-coordinate is Negative 3 and one-half. Negative 3 and one-half is between -3 and -4. Move 2 units down because the y-coordinate is -2.**
