Question

Four points are plotted on a coordinate plane. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The y-axis ranges from negative 6 to 0 in increments of 1.

What would the next point be on the graph?

(1 point)

Answer 1

Without the image, I can't determine the specific points plotted on the coordinate plane. However, I can guide you on how to choose the next point based on patterns or sequences you may observe from the existing points.

Here are some steps to consider for your decision:

1. Identify Existing Points: Look at the x and y coordinates of the already plotted points.
2. Look for Patterns: See if there's a consistent change in values (like a gradual increase or decrease) in either the x or y coordinates.
3. Choose the Next Logical Point: Based on noted trends, see which option (of those provided) fits best.

You would look for a point that continues any patterns (like increasing x-values or a certain decrement in y-values).

If you can describe the existing points or the overall trend, I could help you determine the likely next point! Otherwise, you can go through the listed options logically to see which one aligns most with any existing patterns.
