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 determine the correct ordered pairs based on the description provided, let's analyze the points:

  1. First Point:

    • Quadrant II (x is negative, y is positive).
    • Located at 1 increment along the x-axis and 6 increments along the y-axis.
    • This translates to the ordered pair (-1, 6), because in Quadrant II, the x-coordinate is negative.
  2. Second Point:

    • Also in Quadrant II.
    • Located at 3 increments along the x-axis and 2 increments along the y-axis.
    • This translates to the ordered pair (-3, 2).
  3. Third Point:

    • Located in Quadrant III (x is negative, y is negative).
    • Positioned at 5 increments along the x-axis and 2 increments along the y-axis.
    • This translates to the ordered pair (-5, -2).

By summarizing these points, we have the ordered pairs: (-1, 6), (-3, 2), and (-5, -2).

Now, checking against the response options:

  1. (5,−2), (3,2), (1,6) - Does not match.
  2. (−5,−2), (−3,2), (−1,6) - Does match.
  3. (−2,−5), (2,−3), (6,−1) - Does not match.
  4. (−5,2), (−3,2), (−1,6) - Does not match.

The correct response is: (−5,−2), (−3,2), (−1,6).
