Answer 1

Answer:

See photo below

Step-by-step explanation:

How to graph a point:

1. Draw the Cartesian Plane
2. Go left/right the "x-axis" according to the coordinate
3. From there, go up/down the number of squares in the coordinate
4. Draw a dot
5. Label the point

Draw the Cartesian Plane

The Cartesian Plane is the grid that you graph onto. Draw a horizontal line, called the "x-axis". Draw a vertical line crossing over the x-axis, called the "y-axis". At the end of each line, draw arrowheads.

Label the lines that touch your axis (like in the photo). On the x-axis, count up from 0 on the right side. Then on the left side, count down from 0 into the negative numbers. For the y-axis, count up from 0 on the top. Then on the bottom, count into negative numbers.

Where the two axis meet is called the origin, which is the point (0, 0).

Coordinates, also called ordered pairs, are written (x, y).

Go left/right the "x-axis" according to the coordinate

Use the "x" coordinate for the x-axis. The x-coordinate in our point is 1. Go to the right 1 square.

From there, go up/down the number of squares shown in the coordinate

Use the "y" coordinate for the y-axis. Since the "y" value is 2, go up 2 squares.

Draw a dot where you end up

Label the point

Near the dot, write the location of the point using (x, y).
