How many steps to the right of the origin is the point? How many steps above it?
(1.5,2.5)
Practice makes perfect
To find the x-coordinate of T, we count the number of units that it is placed to the right of the origin. Similarly, to find y-coordinate, we count the number of units that it is above the origin.
From the diagram, we see that T is located 1.5 units to the right of the origin and 2.5 units above it. Then, its coordinates are x= 1.5 and y= 2.5, which we can write as ( 1.5, 2.5).
