Question:
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
___ 5. A coordinate grid has the following pairs
(-2,-5), (0,-4), (3,0), (4,1), (5,2), (6,3), The point (0,4) is out of place.
How I got the answer wrong...
Well first, I plotted all of the points on a coordinate grid and it showed me this...
Light Green being all the other points
Dark Green being (0,-4)
I thought that since the (-2,-5) is further away from all the other points, it is also out of place with (0,-4) so I put F-for false. BUT I WAS WRONG!
Answer:
The answer is T-for true. Even though (-2,-5) are further away from the other ordered pairs, they all still form a straight diagonal line. The only point out of place is (o,-4).
