Question

If you were to plot the point (4, -12) what would be the correct method?

A Up 4, left 12
B Right 4, up 12
C Down 4, left 12
D Right 4, down 12​

Answer 1

Answer:

option D is correct

4 right,12 down

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (d) Right 4, down 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The point (4,-12)

To find: The correct method for plotting the given point.

Solution: The point (4,-12) is an ordered pair.

An ordered pair contains the coordinates of one point in the coordinate system. A point is named by its ordered pair of the form of (x,y).The first number corresponds to the x-coordinate and the second to the y-coordinate.

• To graph a point, the x-coordinate tells how many steps to move (starting  from the origin) to the right (positive) or left (negative) on the x-axis.
• And the y-coordinate tells how many steps to move up (positive) or down (negative) on the y-axis.

The point (4, -12) represents the values of x and y in that order, that is x=4 and y=-12.

Therefore, the ordered pair (4, -12) is found in the coordinate system when you move 4 steps to the right on the x-axis and 12 steps downwards on the y-axis.

So option (d) right4, down 12.
