To plot a fraction on a graph you have to turn it into an improper fraction. In this case, the improper fraction for 2 2/3 is 8/3 and the improper fraction for 1 7/9 is 16/9.

*Note: To find the improper fraction of a fraction you must multiply the denominator by the whole number and then add the numerator.

With these two improper fractions...

8/3

16/9 (Simplify it down to 8/3 since both 16 and 9 go into 3)

You can now graph it. To graph, the numerator tells you how many times to go up and the denominator tells you how many times to go right. IF IT'S NEGATIVE IT WILL DO THE OPPOSITE IF THE NUMERATOR IS NEGATIVE IT WILL GO DOWN INSTEAD OF UP AND IF THE DENOMINATOR IS NEGATIVE IT WILL GO LEFT INSTEAD OF RIGHT.

8/9 means you need to start at the origin, (0,0) and go 8 up and 3 to the right. 8/3 means you start at the origin and go 8 up and 3 to the right. You will almost always start at the origin.

I really hope this helps :)
