Maria is using a coordinate plane with the axes labeledonly with integers. She says that the point (-0.5, 2)cannot be plotted because halves are not numbered onthe x-axis. Write a note to Maria about hermisunderstanding and explain how to plot the point. I need help |

Answer» Answer: Integers ={Positive Natuaral Number +Natural numbers having negative sign behind it+Zero} ={------,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,..........} →Points marked on the X and Y axis on the Coordinate Plane=Integers only →Point to be marked on the coordinate plane =(-0.5,2) →As, points on both X and Y axis are integers only.To mark, -0.5 , mark a line between , 0 and -1,that will be ,-0.5. →You can mark , any terminating decimal on the number line, which is marked with integers only. →Terminating decimals are those decimals having in the denominator of a fraction. So, to plot any terminating Decimal on the coordinate plane, you have to use property of Rational Numbers ,which is, you can FIND INFINITE number of terminating Decimal between two terminating Decimal. →Mark -0.5 between 0 and -1 on the X axis.Similarly, mark integer 2 on the Y axis.Draw a line parallel to Y axis ,passing from (-0.5,0) and line parallel to X axis passing through (0,2).The intersection of these two lines will be required point (-0.5,2).
