Problem

What are the coordinates of the point 5 units to the left and 2 units down from the origin?

2

Step

To determine the coordinates of the point that is 5 units to the left and 2 units down from the origin:

3

Step

Starting at the origin:

The origin has coordinates (0, 0)

4

Step

Move 5 units to the left:

Subtract 5 from the x-coordinate: 0 - 5 = - 5

5

Step

Move 2 units down:

Subtract 2 from the y-coordinate: 0 - 2 = - 2

6

Step

The coordinates of the point are

(-5, -2)

7

Solution

So, the coordinates of the point are (-5, -2).

Choices

9

Choice-A

This choice is correct because (-5, -2) accurately represents moving 5 units left and 2 units down from the origin

Correct (-5, -2)

10

Choice-B

This choice is wrong because (5, -2) represents moving 5 units to the right and 2 units down from the origin, which is not what was described in the PROBLEM

Wrong (5, -2)

11

Choice-C

It represents a point that is 5 units to the right and 2 units up from the origin, which is the opposite direction from what you need. So, this is wrong

Wrong (5, 2)

12

Choice-D

This option (-5, 2) is incorrect because it has the y-coordinate as 2 instead of -2

Wrong (-5, 2)
