Question

Which has the greatest some of the absolute values of the coordinates

A)E

B)F

C)G

D)H

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

To find the absolute value of the sum of coordinates, first find the coordinate point of each letter. Then add the coordinate and take the absolute value.

A)E is (-4,3). Its sum is -4 + 3 = -1. The absolute value is 1.

B)F is (0,4). Its sum is 0 + 4 = 4. The absolute value is 4.

C)G is (4,-2). Its sum is 4 + -2 = 2. The absolute value is 2.

D)H is (-1,-4). Its sum is -1 + -4 = -5. The absolute value is 5.

D is the largest.
