Question

How would you begin to plot the ordered pair ( 6,2)?

Answer 1

To graph a point you have a coordinate plane or graph not theirs a x axis with is a like going left to right and a y axis, a line starting up to down. I remember using the saying “run before you jump” meaning you run first starting at your origin(0,0). In this case your first number is 6 for which you would run until you’re at 6 on the x axis line or the line going left to right then jump to straight up because it’s a positive number. Because you’re jumping up you’re going to jump 2 on the y axis line or the line going up and down. Your point doesn’t need to be exactly on either line. Remember your first coordinate or number is the number you run with and the second the one you jump with
