Cartesian grid negative coordinates
Test your understanding of cartesian grid negative coordinates by practicing it! Work through the below exercises to use it in practice.
🎙️
Let's find the coordinates of this point
🎙️
Cartesian coordinates to the left or below zero are represented as negatives
🎙️
The first number is how far left, as a negative. So that's negative 2
🎙️
The second number is how far down, as a negative, so that's negative 4
🎙️
So the coordinates of this point are negative 2, comma, negative 4
