Question

1. which of the following points shows (-2, -4) on the coordinate plane? (a) point m (b) point a (c) point t (d) point h

Explanation:

Step1: Understand coordinate rules

In a coordinate - plane, for a point $(x,y)$, $x$ is the horizontal coordinate and $y$ is the vertical coordinate. For the point $(-2,-4)$, $x=-2$ means 2 units to the left of the origin and $y = - 4$ means 4 units down from the origin.

Step2: Locate points

Point $M$ is 2 units to the left and 4 units down from the origin. Point $A$ is on the negative - y axis (0, - 2). Point $T$ is in the first quadrant (2,2). Point $H$ is in the second quadrant (-2,2).

Answer:

a. point M
