Answer: fourth
x is positive and y is negative, so the point is in the fourth quadrant.
Answer: (−3, −6)
- x: (2 + (−8)) ÷ 2 = −3
- y: (−8 + (−4)) ÷ 2 = −6
Answer: (5, 0.5)
- x: (8 + 2) ÷ 2 = 5
- y: (0 + 1) ÷ 2 = 0.5
Answer: (−5.5, −0.5)
- x: (−8 + (−3)) ÷ 2 = −5.5
- y: (−6 + 5) ÷ 2 = −0.5

Marking tips
- Give credit for correct method even when the final answer slips — the working shows where the thinking went right.
- For open-ended tasks, use the success criteria as a checklist rather than looking for one "right" answer.
- Celebrate what went well first, then pick one thing to work on next.
