Question

graph the points (-1.5, 3), (-4.5, 0.5), and (2, -3) on the coordinate plane. click to graph a point. click the point again to delete it.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate $(-1.5, 3)$

Move 1.5 units left on the x-axis, then 3 units up along the vertical line at $x=-1.5$ to plot the point.

Step2: Locate $(-4.5, 0.5)$

Move 4.5 units left on the x-axis, then 0.5 units up along the vertical line at $x=-4.5$ to plot the point.

Step3: Locate $(2, -3)$

Move 2 units right on the x-axis, then 3 units down along the vertical line at $x=2$ to plot the point.

Answer:

The points $(-1.5, 3)$, $(-4.5, 0.5)$, and $(2, -3)$ are plotted on the coordinate plane as described:

• $(-1.5, 3)$: halfway between $x=-1$ and $x=-2$, at $y=3$
• $(-4.5, 0.5)$: halfway between $x=-4$ and $x=-5$, halfway between $y=0$ and $y=1$
• $(2, -3)$: at $x=2$, at $y=-3$
