Question

1. which ordered pair represents point m on the graph shown below? a (3, 4) b (3, -4) c (-4, -3) d (-4, 3)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate - pair rule

In an ordered pair $(x,y)$, $x$ is the horizontal (left - right) coordinate and $y$ is the vertical (up - down) coordinate.

Step2: Determine the x - coordinate of point m

Count the number of units to the right or left of the y - axis. Point m is 3 units to the right of the y - axis, so $x = 3$.

Step3: Determine the y - coordinate of point m

Count the number of units above or below the x - axis. Point m is 4 units below the x - axis, so $y=-4$.

Answer:

B. (3, - 4)
