Question

what is the ordered pair for point b? a (-5, -3) b (3, 5) c (5, 3) d (-5, 3)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall ordered pair definition

An ordered pair \((x, y)\) has \(x\) as the horizontal (left/right) coordinate and \(y\) as the vertical (up/down) coordinate.

Step2: Find x - coordinate of B

From the origin (0,0), move right 5 units (since it's on the positive x - axis side). So \(x = 5\).

Step3: Find y - coordinate of B

From the origin, move up 3 units (positive y - axis side). So \(y = 3\).

Step4: Form the ordered pair

Combining \(x = 5\) and \(y = 3\), the ordered pair is \((5, 3)\).

Answer:

C. \((5, 3)\)
