Question

plot the following points in the cartesian plane. {(3, 4), (-9, 9), (-9, -10), (7, -7)}

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Cartesian plane rules

In a point $(x,y)$, $x$ = horizontal coordinate, $y$ = vertical coordinate.

Step2: Locate each point

1. For $(3,4)$: Move 3 right on x-axis, 4 up on y-axis.
2. For $(-9,9)$: Move 9 left on x-axis, 9 up on y-axis.
3. For $(-9,-10)$: Move 9 left on x-axis, 10 down on y-axis.
4. For $(7,-7)$: Move 7 right on x-axis, 7 down on y-axis.

Step3: Mark each point

Place a dot at each calculated position.

Answer:

• Point $(3,4)$: 3 units right, 4 units up from the origin
• Point $(-9,9)$: 9 units left, 9 units up from the origin
• Point $(-9,-10)$: 9 units left, 10 units down from the origin
• Point $(7,-7)$: 7 units right, 7 units down from the origin

When plotted, these dots will appear at their respective positions on the Cartesian plane.
