Chapter 4, Problem 16QC

To determine

To Find: The ordered pair of Point Ffrom the Coordinate Cartesian Plane.

Answer to Problem 16QC

The Ordered Pair of pointF is given by (-5,2) .

Explanation of Solution

Given Information :

The Graph is given to locate the Coordinates of the point F.

  

Concept Used:

1. An Ordered Pair is a set of numbers , or Coordinates , written in the form (x,y).
2. The x-value , called the x-coordinate, represents the horizontal placement of the point.
3. The y-value , called the y-coordinate, represents the vertical placement of the point.

Calculation:

From the given graph ,

  

We can clearly see that , for point F ,

The x-coordinate is -5 ( since it is at a distance of -5 units in the horizontal direction i.e. it is at a distance of 5 units in the negative direction of x-axis)

The y-coordinate is 2 ( since it is at a distance of 2 units in the vertical direction )

Hence, the Ordered Pair for point F is (-5,2) .
