What are the coordinates of point P on the coordinate grid below? A four-quadrant coordinate grid from negative 1 to 1 is drawn with grid lines to show increments of 1 over 8. Point P is plotted at the third grid line to the left of the y-axis and the fifth grid line above the x-axis.

the ordered pair negative 3 over 8, 5 over 8
the ordered pair 3 over 8, negative 5 over 8
the ordered pair negative 3 over 8, negative 5 over 8
the ordered pair 3 over 8, 5 over 8

  a.  (-3/8, 5/8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first number of the ordered pair gives the distance to the right of the y-axis. A distance of 3 grid lines to the left, where each grid line is 1/8 unit, will correspond to a first coordinate of -3/8.

The second number of the ordered pair gives the distance above the x-axis. A distance of 5 grid lines above, where each grid line is 1/8 unit, will correspond to a second coordinate of 5/8.

The coordinates of point P are (-3/8, 5/8).
