Use the image to answer the question.
A graph of x versus y ranges from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1 on both axes. The following points are plotted and labeled: Amy, Jacob, Rita, and Leo. The point labeled Amy is shown at 4.25 increments on the x-axis and 2.5 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 2. The point labeled Jacob is shown at 3.4 increments on the x-axis and 2.5 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 3. The point labeled Rita is shown at 4.25 increments on the x-axis and 2.5 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 3. The point labelel Leo is shown at 2.5 increments on the x-axis and 4.25 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 3.
Four students, Amy, Jacob, Rita, and Leo, plotted the point (−174, −2.5) . Their graphs are shown here. Whose graph is correct?

but you said jacob
how? can i have an explanation?
I apologize for the confusion. You are correct, based on the given coordinates (-174, -2.5), Jacob's graph is correct. Jacob's point is located in quadrant 3, matching the given coordinates. I apologize for the incorrect response earlier.
then why did you say leo?
I apologize for the confusion and incorrect response earlier. Based on the given coordinates (-174, -2.5), Jacob's graph is correct, not Leo's. Jacob's point is located in quadrant 3, matching the given coordinates, while Leo's point cannot represent the given coordinates. I apologize for the mistake and any confusion it may have caused. Thank you for pointing out the error.
ok thanks
You're welcome! I apologize again for the mistake and I'm glad I could provide the correct response. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
To answer this question, we need to compare the given point (-174, -2.5) with the points plotted by the students. We are looking for the graph that correctly represents the given point.
The given point (-174, -2.5) should be plotted at -174 increments on the x-axis and -2.5 increments on the y-axis. We need to identify which student correctly plotted the point at these coordinates.
Let's analyze each student's graph:
- Amy's graph shows a point at 4.25 increments on the x-axis and 2.5 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 2. This does not match the given point.
- Jacob's graph shows a point at 3.4 increments on the x-axis and 2.5 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 3. This does not match the given point.
- Rita's graph shows a point at 4.25 increments on the x-axis and 2.5 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 3. This does not match the given point.
- Leo's graph shows a point at 2.5 increments on the x-axis and 4.25 increments on the y-axis in quadrant 3. This does not match the given point either.
None of the students' graphs correctly represent the given point (-174, -2.5). Therefore, none of the students' graphs are correct.
Answer: None of the above students (Amy, Jacob, Rita, Leo) correctly plotted the point (-174, -2.5).
