Question

Select the group of ordered pairs represented on the coordinate plane.

• A. A (7, 2), B (5, 4), C (6, 3)
• B. A (2, 4), B (4, 5), C (3, 6)
• C. A (2, 5), B (3, 7), C (8, 3)
• D. A (4, 2), B (5, 4), C (6, 3)

Answer 1

The correct option is B A (2, 4), B (4, 5), C (3, 6)


$\text{Identifying the coordinates of point A:}$
Travel vertically downwards from A. As this is the distance of point A from the $x-$axis, let’s consider this distance as the y-coordinate of point A.
Distance traveled vertically = $y-$coordinate of point A = 4
Travel horizontally toward the origin from the last location. As this is the distance of point A from the $y-$axis, let’s consider this distance as the $x-$coordinate of point A.
Distance traveled horizontally = $x-$coordinate of point A = 2
So, the coordinates of point A: (2, 4)

$\text{Identifying the coordinates of point B:}$
Distance traveled vertically = $y-$coordinate of point B = 5
Distance traveled horizontally = $x-$coordinate of point B = 4
So, the coordinates of point B: (4, 5)

$\text{Identifying the coordinates of point C:}$
Distance traveled vertically = $y-$coordinate of point C = 6
Distance traveled horizontally = $x-$coordinate of point C = 3
So, the coordinates of point C: (3, 6)
The coordinates are A = (2, 4), B = (4, 5), and C = (3, 6).
Hence, option B is correct.
