Question

which point represents (2,4)?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate system rules

In a coordinate \((x,y)\), \(x\) is horizontal (left - right) and \(y\) is vertical (up - down).

Step2: Analyze \(x = 2\) and \(y=4\)

For \(x = 2\), move 2 units along the \(x\) - axis (horizontal). For \(y = 4\), move 4 units along the \(y\) - axis (vertical). Looking at the points:

• Point \(B\): \(x = 1,y = 3\)
• Point \(A\): \(x = 2,y = 4\) (matches the coordinates \((2,4)\))
• Point \(D\): \(x = 3,y = 1\)
• Point \(C\): \(x = 4,y = 2\)

Answer:

Point \(A\)
