Rico plots point K at (Negative 2 and one-half, 4 and one-half). Which graph shows the location of point K?

Question

On a coordinate plane, point K is 2.5 units to the right and 4.5 units down.
On a coordinate plane, point K is 2 units to the right and 4 units up.
On a coordinate plane, point K is 2.5 units to the left and 4.5 units up.
On a coordinate plane, point K is 2.5 units to the right and 4.5 units up.

Answer 1

To plot point K at \((-2.5, 4.5)\), we need to understand the coordinates:

• The x-coordinate is \(-2.5\), which means we move 2.5 units to the left on the x-axis (since the value is negative).
• The y-coordinate is \(4.5\), which means we move 4.5 units up on the y-axis.

So the correct description of point K is:

• "On a coordinate plane, point K is 2.5 units to the left and 4.5 units up."

Thus, the correct graph that shows the location of point K is the one that represents this movement.
