Question

Write the ordered pair for each point.

$E$

Short answer

The ordered pair for point $\mathit{E}$is $\left(-3,-3\right)$.

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Observe the figure.

From the figure, it can be observed that it is the$x\text{-}y$plane with several coordinates$A,B,C,D,E,$and$F$marked on it.

Step 2. Define the coordinate of a point.

Coordinate or an ordered pair$\left(x,y\right)$ of a point is a pair of numbers; that is, a number on the $x$-axis called an $x$-coordinate, and a number on the $y$-axis called a $y$-coordinate.

Step 3. Name the coordinates of the point E.

Steps to find the coordinate of point $E$are:

• Point$E$ is 3 units away from the origin on the negative $x$axis. Thus, the $x$-coordinate is $-3$.
• Then the point $E$is 3 units away from the origin on the negative $y$axis. Thus, the $y$-coordinate is role="math" localid="1647506027920" $-3$.

From the given graph,

Therefore, the coordinates of a point $E$is $\left(-3,-3\right)$.
