Plot the values on a graph
1 answer:
Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
When plotting points on a graph, you need to first find the x value along the horizontal x-axis, and then find the y value along the vertical y-axis.
So, your process for plotting points could be similar to the following:
find x, move up/down from the x value to find the y-value, and plot a point.
The first number in parentheses when plotting a point is the x value, the second number [following a comma] is the y value
(x , y)
The numbers of x are increasing going towards the right [of the y-axis]
The numbers of x are decreasing towards the left [of the y-axis]
The very middle point, where the two axes meet, is called the origin, and its location is (0, 0)
The numbers of y are increasing going up [from the x-axis]
The numbers of y are decreasing going down [from the x-axis]
Each tick in a graph is representing what x or y value that part of the graph is.
