Exercise 1 Page 173

Start at the origin. Move horizontally to find the x-coordinate and then vertically to find the y-coordinate of the point.

(-5,- 2)

To identify the (x,y) ordered pair to which a given point corresponds, start at the origin and move horizontally to find the x-coordinate, then move vertically to find the y-coordinate of the point. In this case, point G is 5 units to the left of the origin and 2 units down. So, the x-coordinate is -5 and the y-coordinate is -2.

Therefore, point G lies at the coordinate pair (-5,-2).
