Answer:
The x- and y-coordinates are switched.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Point L plotted by Raj is in a coordinate plane.
Point L is 1.5 units to the left and is 4 units up.
As per Raj, the point is (4, -1.5).
Kindly refer to the general coordinate plane diagram in the answer area.
The origin is at (0,0) which is our reference point for plotting any point.
When we move left on the coordinate plane from origin, the [tex]x[/tex] coordinate will decrease i.e. will become negative.
When we move right on the coordinate plane from origin, the [tex]x[/tex] coordinate will increase i.e. will become positive.
When we move down on the coordinate plane from origin, the [tex]y[/tex] coordinate will decrease i.e. will become negative.
When we move up on the coordinate plane from origin, the [tex]y[/tex] coordinate will increase i.e. will become positive.
Now, as per question statement, 1.5 units to the left.
i.e. [tex]x[/tex] = -1.5
4 units up.
i.e. [tex]y[/tex] = 4
Therefore, the point will be (-1.5, 4).
So, the answer is:
The x- and y-coordinates are switched.
