Bailey draws a map of the zoo on a coordinate grid.

Question

The reptile house is located at (2, 5), and the gorilla exhibit is located at (8, 3).
Which point is the correct location of the reptile house?

A coordinate plane has an x-axis from 0 to 9 in increments of 1 and a y-axis from 0 to 9 in increments of 1. Point A is plotted 3 units to the right and 6 units above the origin. Point B is plotted 2 units to the right and 3 units above the origin. Point C is plotted 3 units to the right and 8 units above the origin. Point D is plotted 6 units to the right of the origin. Point E is plotted 2 units to the right and 5 units above the origin. Point F is plotted 5 units to the right and 2 units above the origin. Point G is plotted 8 units to the right and 3 units above the origin.

Answer 1

To determine the correct location of the reptile house on the coordinate grid, we need to find the point that corresponds to the coordinates (2, 5).

• The x-coordinate (2) indicates that the point is 2 units to the right of the origin (0, 0).
• The y-coordinate (5) indicates that the point is 5 units above the x-axis.

Let's examine the options provided:

• Point A is (3, 6): 3 units right, 6 units up (not (2, 5)).
• Point B is (2, 3): 2 units right, 3 units up (not (2, 5)).
• Point C is (3, 8): 3 units right, 8 units up (not (2, 5)).
• Point D is (6, 0): 6 units right, 0 units up (not (2, 5)).
• Point E is (2, 5): 2 units right, 5 units up (this is (2, 5)).
• Point F is (5, 2): 5 units right, 2 units up (not (2, 5)).
• Point G is (8, 3): 8 units right, 3 units up (not (2, 5)).

The correct location of the reptile house is Point E, which is at the coordinates (2, 5).

So the answer is:

E
