Question

Select the option that shows the correct ordered pairs for coordinates of A, B, and C plotted on the coordinate plane.

Answer 1

Let’s identify the coordinates of A, B, and C.


$\text{Identifying the coordinates of point A:}$
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
Hence, 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
Hence, the coordinates of point B: (4, 5)

$\text{Identifying the coordinates of point C:}$
Distance traveled vertically = $y-$coordinate of point C = 3
Distance traveled horizontally = $x-$coordinate of point C = 6
Hence, the coordinates of point C: (6, 3)

The coordinates are A = (2, 4), B = (4, 5), and C = (6, 3).
Hence, option C is correct.
