Question

which point is the graph of the ordered pair (2, -4)? point a point b

Explanation:

Step1: Understand ordered - pair meaning

In an ordered pair \((x,y)\), \(x\) is the horizontal coordinate and \(y\) is the vertical coordinate.
For the ordered pair \((2,-4)\), \(x = 2\) means moving 2 units to the right of the \(y\) - axis and \(y=-4\) means moving 4 units down from the \(x\) - axis.

Step2: Locate the point on the graph

Looking at the graph, point \(A\) has coordinates \((-3,2)\), point \(C\) has coordinates \((-1,4)\), point \(D\) has coordinates \((3,2)\). Point \(B\) has \(x = 2\) and \(y=-4\).

Answer:

point B
