Show hintHide hint
Think about where the x-axis and y-axis meet.
Question 2.
If a point has coordinates (5,2), how would you plot it?
Show hintHide hint
Focus on the first number showing horizontal direction.
3Question 3.
What is the x-coordinate in the point (2, 5)?
- 2

The coordinates (4, -2) indicate movement in which directions?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about positive and negative movements.
Question 5.
