Question 33006: This is a descussion question that I totally dont get. Am I suppose to graph this? How am I suppose to set up the graph so it shows on the Discussion board?
Can someone help me solve this and explain how it was achueved?
Name the coordinate described here:
From the origin, the point is five places to the right and nine places down.
Thank you very much! :)

Answer by xcentaur(357) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
From the origin, the point is five places to the right and nine places down.
From the origin, five to the right means the x-co ordinate becomes +5
So the point becomes (5,0)
Now 9 down means the y-co ordinate goes 9 places down. remember that down on the y-axis is negative
so we get,
(5,-9)

Hope this helps,
