Question

Anthony started from the home as a reference point (0, 0) (the coordinates of the origin) and moved 1 unit on the x-axis and 4 units on the y-axis.
Which of the following figure represents this statement perfectly?

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Anthony started from the home as a reference point (0, 0)

Given Data:

• Anthony has moved 1 unit in the x-axis direction ∴ x-coordinates = 1
• Anthony has moved 4 units in the y-axis direction ∴ y-coordinates = 4

So, the ordered pair is (1, 4)

Step 1: Distance moved on the x-axis = 1 unit
Start at the origin, move 1 unit to the right of the origin in the x-axis direction

Step 2: Distance moved on the y-axis = 4 units
Now, start at the 1${}^{st}$ unit on the x-axis and move 4 units in the y-axis direction (upwards), then label the point as (1, 4).

$\therefore$ Option (d.) represents the correct plot of (1, 4) on the coordinate plane
