Example Questions

Example Question #852 : Act Math

What are the coordinates of point B?

Graph1

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly under the point. The x-coordinate is .

Now, continue up until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is .

 is then the coordinate of the point.
