a. Plot coordinate (0, 12), and continue plotting points 5 unit(s) in the negative x direction and 6 unit(s) in the positive y direction. b. Plot coordinate (12, 0), and continue plotting points 6 unit(s) in the positive x direction
and 5 unit(s) in the negative y direction. C. Plot coordinate (12, 0), and continue plotting points 6 unit(s) in the negative x direction
and 5 unit(s) in the negative y direction.
d. Plot coordinate (0, 12), and continue plotting points 6 unit(s) in the positive x direction and 5 unit(s) in the negative y direction.
The answer is d. Plot coordinate (0, 12), and continue plotting points 6 unit(s) in the positive x direction and 5 unit(s) in the negative y direction.
The correct answer would be option D. Plot coordinate (0,12), and continue plotting points 6 unit(s) in the positive x direction and 5 unit(s) in the negative y direction.
To determine which of these instructions would give the given graph, we need to understand how each instruction moves from one point to another on the graph. Let's go through each option and evaluate them based on the given graph:
a. Plot coordinate (0, 12), and continue plotting points 5 unit(s) in the negative x direction and 6 unit(s) in the positive y direction.
This instruction starts at point (0, 12) and moves 5 units left in the x-direction (-5, 12) and 6 units up in the y-direction (-5, 18), which is not consistent with the given graph. Hence, option a is not correct.
b. Plot coordinate (12, 0), and continue plotting points 6 unit(s) in the positive x direction and 5 unit(s) in the negative y direction.
This instruction starts at point (12, 0) and moves 6 units right in the x-direction (18, 0) and 5 units down in the y-direction (18, -5). This movement pattern matches the given graph because it moves horizontally to the right and vertically downwards. Hence, option b could be the correct instruction.
c. Plot coordinate (12, 0), and continue plotting points 6 unit(s) in the negative x direction and 5 unit(s) in the negative y direction.
This instruction starts at point (12, 0) and moves 6 units left in the x-direction (6, 0) and 5 units down in the y-direction (6, -5). This movement pattern does not match the given graph as it moves horizontally to the left and vertically downwards. Therefore, option c is not correct.
d. Plot coordinate (0, 12), and continue plotting points 6 unit(s) in the positive x direction and 5 unit(s) in the negative y direction.
This instruction starts at point (0, 12) and moves 6 units right in the x-direction (6, 12), and 5 units down in the y-direction (6, 7). This movement pattern matches the given graph as it moves horizontally to the right and vertically downwards. Hence, option d could be the correct instruction.
Based on the evaluation, options b and d could be the correct instructions to give the given graph.
