Question

graph the point (2.5, -2) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate x-coordinate 2.5

Move 2.5 units right from origin on x-axis, halfway between $x=2$ and $x=4$.

Step2: Locate y-coordinate -2

From the x-position, move 2 units down to $y=-2$.

Step3: Mark the point

Place a dot at the intersection of these positions.

Answer:

The point is plotted halfway between $x=2$ and $x=4$, directly at $y=-2$ on the coordinate plane.
