Question

Use the image to answer the question.

A coordinate plane shows four quadrants with both the x-axis and y-axis ranging from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Three points are plotted. One point is located in quadrant two and positioned at 1 increment along the x-axis and 6 increments along the y-axis. One point is located in quadrant 2 and positioned at 3 increments along the x-axis and 2 increments along the y-axis. One point is located in quadrant three and positioned at 5 increments along the x-axis and 2 increments along the y-axis.

Choose the ordered pairs that are plotted on this coordinate grid.

To identify the ordered pairs of the plotted points based on your description:

  1. The first point is located in quadrant two at (1, 6):

    • Since it is in quadrant two, the x-value must be negative and the y-value must be positive. Given the coordinates provided, this point would actually be (-1, 6).
  2. The second point is also in quadrant two at (3, 2):

    • Again, since this point is in quadrant two, the x-value would need to be negative. The correct coordinates for this point would be (-3, 2).
  3. The third point is in quadrant three at (5, 2):

    • In quadrant three, both the x and y-values are negative. So this point should be (-5, -2).

Hence, the correct ordered pairs based on their descriptions are:

(-1,6), (-3,2), and (-5,-2).

Looking at the provided options, the first option correctly identifies (-1, 6) and (-3, 2), but not (-5, 2).

However, if we look at the last response option "left parenthesis 5 comma negative 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma 6 right parenthesis," while spelling these out:

  1. (1, 6) from quadrant two is actually represented correctly here.
  2. (3, 2) is positive, which doesn't belong to quadrant two.
  3. Finally (5, -2) misrepresents again where it belongs.

After analyzing all points according to your information, it seems all responses are potentially incorrect for matching what you provided.

However, the closest one verifying negative on x and its position alignment is the last answer set of coordinate pairs in recognizing "5,-2" incorrectly placed should fit more properly for confirming negatives at their attributed systems:

The correct response is:

  • None of those options align properly hence possible error or lacking information in plotted values.
