On the map of an amusement park on a coordinate grid, the skating rink is at (−1.5, −1).Which of these shows how to plot the point to mark the skating rink? From the origin, move 1.5 units to the left along the x-axis and 1 unit vertically down, and place the point. From the origin, move 1 unit to the left along the x-axis and 1.5 units vertically down, and place the point. From the origin, move 1 unit to the right along the x-axis and 1.5 units vertically down, and place the point. From the origin, move 1.5 units to the right along the x-axis and 1 unit vertically down, and place the point.
Accepted Solution
A:
Start at the origin. This is where the x and y axis meet x axis = horizontal axis numberline y axis = vertical axis numberline
From the origin, then move 1.5 units to the left. This is what it means when x is negative. We move that amount to the left.
