Question

Find the coordinates of the point.

The point is seven units to the left of the y-axis and two units below the x-axis.

Answer 1

(-7, -2)

Explanation:

If you look on a graph and travel 7 units to the left of the y axis, you are traveling in the x direction (along the x axis). Since you are 7 units to the left, you are at -7 in the x direction.

If you look on a graph and travel 2 units down below the x axis, you are traveling in the y direction (along the y axis). Since you are 2 units down, you are at -2 in the y direction.

Coordinates are listed in (x,y) format, so it would be (-7, -2)
