Question

point a is plotted on the coordinate plane to represent the location of asahi’s house on a map.
which coordinates best represent the location of asahi’s house?
a. (6, 9)
b. (9, 6)
c. (8, 6)
d. (9, 7)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate plane rules

In a coordinate plane, the \(x\)-coordinate is the horizontal distance, and the \(y\)-coordinate is the vertical distance from the origin. To find the coordinates of a point, we first move horizontally (along the \(x\)-axis) and then vertically (along the \(y\)-axis).

Step2: Determine \(x\)-coordinate of point \(A\)

Looking at the graph, point \(A\) is horizontally aligned with \(x = 8\) (since it is 8 units to the right of the origin along the \(x\)-axis).

Step3: Determine \(y\)-coordinate of point \(A\)

Vertically, point \(A\) is aligned with \(y = 6\) (since it is 6 units up from the origin along the \(y\)-axis).

Step4: Form the coordinate pair

The coordinates of a point are given as \((x, y)\). So for point \(A\), \(x = 8\) and \(y = 6\), so the coordinates are \((8, 6)\).

Answer:

C. \((8, 6)\)
