Which of the following statements is true for a point in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane? A. To graph a point (x, y) in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, move x units up from the origin and y units to the left.

B. To grab a point (x, y) in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, move x units to the right of the origin and y units up.

C. To graph a point (x, y) in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, move x units to the left of the origin and y units up.

C. To graph a point (x, y) in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, move x units from the origins and Y units to the right.

D. To graph a point (x, y) in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, move x units up from the origin and y units to the right.

Choice B: Start at the origin. Move units to the right, and units upwards.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two axes on a typical Cartesian coordinate plane:

Many diagrams of a Cartesian plane would have arrows on these two axis. Typically, there would be:

The arrow on the -axis pointing rightward suggests that as a point move to the right, the coordinate of that point would increase. Conversely, it would be necessary to move points to the right so as to increase their -coordinates.

On the other hand, the arrow pointing upwards on the -axis indicate that as a point move upward, the coordinate of that point would increase. With a similar logic, it would be necessary to move points upward to increase their -coordinates.

Besides, the origin (the intersection of the two axis, unless otherwise specified) would corresponds to . (That is: and .) If the origin is the starting point, it would be necessary to increase the -coordinate by units (by moving rightward units) and increase the the -coordinate by units (by moving upwards units) so as to reach the point .

look a the sides they are perpendicular

the entire expression should be subtracted from 30. to subtract the quantity, distribute the negative sign, which changes the signs on the terms. so, the –2 changes to positive and gets added to 30 instead of subtracted from it.

hope this ! ^w^
