Question

plot the ordered pair (-6,5) on the rectangular coordinate plane. plot (-6,5).

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x and y values

For the ordered pair \((-6, 5)\), the x - coordinate is \(-6\) and the y - coordinate is \(5\).

Step2: Locate x - coordinate

On the x - axis (horizontal axis), find the position corresponding to \(x=-6\). Move 6 units to the left of the origin (since it is negative).

Step3: Locate y - coordinate

From the point on the x - axis where \(x = - 6\), move up 5 units along the vertical (y - axis) direction (since \(y = 5\) is positive).

Step4: Mark the point

The point where we end up after moving left 6 units (for x) and up 5 units (for y) is the location of the ordered pair \((-6,5)\) on the rectangular coordinate plane.

Answer:

To plot \((-6,5)\), start at the origin \((0,0)\). Move 6 units to the left along the x - axis (because \(x=-6\)) and then 5 units up along the y - axis (because \(y = 5\)). Mark this point on the coordinate plane.
