To plot the point (−212, 3), you need to:
- Start at the origin (0, 0).
- Move left 212 units because the x-coordinate is -212.
- Move up 3 units because the y-coordinate is 3.
The correct response that explains this process is:
Start at the origin. Move left 212 units because the x-coordinate is −212. Move three units up because the y-coordinate is 3.
