Question

graph the point (-1, 1.5) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate x-coordinate -1

Move 1 unit left from origin $(0,0)$ on x-axis.

Step2: Locate y-coordinate 1.5

From x=-1, move 1.5 units up parallel to y-axis.

Step3: Mark the point

Place a dot at the intersection of the above positions.

Answer:

The point $(-1, 1.5)$ is plotted 1 unit left of the y-axis and halfway between the horizontal grid lines for $y=1$ and $y=2$ on the coordinate plane.
