Question

what are the coordinates of point z? write your answer as an integer or decimal to the nearest 0.5.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - coordinate

The point Z lies on the y - axis. On the Cartesian plane, for a point on the y - axis, the x - coordinate is 0.
$x = 0$

Step2: Identify y - coordinate

The point Z is located halfway between - 1 and - 2 on the y - axis. So the y - coordinate is - 1.5.
$y=-1.5$

Answer:

$(0, - 1.5)$
