How many steps to the left of the origin is the point located? How many steps above it?
G
Practice makes perfect
To identify the point represented by the ordered pair (-3,5), we should first move 3 units in the negative horizontal direction starting from the origin. We move in the negative direction because the x-coordinate is a negative number. Then we should move 5 units in the positive vertical direction. Let's do it!
From the diagram, we see that the point (-3,5) matches with the point with label B. Therefore, the correct option is G.
