Question

read the directions below for plotting a certain point. start at the origin. move 3 units right and 8 units up. what is the ordered pair for this point? (3, 8) (8, 3) (5, 3) (3, 5)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall ordered pair rules

In a coordinate system, an ordered pair \((x, y)\) has \(x\) as the horizontal (right/left) movement and \(y\) as the vertical (up/down) movement from the origin.

Step2: Determine x and y values

Moving 3 units right means \(x = 3\) (right is positive on x - axis). Moving 8 units up means \(y = 8\) (up is positive on y - axis). So the ordered pair is \((3, 8)\).

Answer:

\((3, 8)\)
