Example Question #5 : How To Graph An Ordered Pair
Which point best represents the coordinate ?
B
D
C
A
B
The sign in front of each number represents which direction to go on the x or y-axis starting at the origin . If the number is positive you go right on the x-axis or up on the y-axis. If the sign is negative then you move to the left on the x-axis or down on the y-axis.
To get to , move right on the x-axis by then move down on the y-axis by .

D
The sign in front of each number represents which direction to go on the x or y-axis starting at the origin . If the number is positive you go right on the x-axis or up on the y-axis. If the sign is negative then you move to the left on the x-axis or down on the y-axis. The first term in the ordered pair is the movement in the x direction and the second point is the movement in the y direction.

Example Question #13 : How To Graph An Ordered Pair
What is the following ordered pair?
In order to find the values of a graphed ordered pair, you first need to the count across the x-axis (horizontal) and then across the y-axis (vertical). The middle of the x-axis and y-axis is called the origin and represents (0,0). Any movement to the left or below the origin is negative. Any movement to the right or above the origin is positive. Therefore, the coordinate for the graphed ordered pair would be two across the x-axis in the positive direction and three across the y-axis in the positive direction, or .
Example Question #11 : How To Graph An Ordered Pair
What are the coordinates of Point A, and in which quadrant is it located?
, Quadrant IV
, Quadrant IV
, Quadrant II
, Quadrant II
, Quadrant IV
Coordinate points are given x-coordinate first, y-coordinate second. Quadrants are numbered counter-clockwise, with Quadrant I consisting of positive x-coordinates and positive y-coordinates, Quadrant II consisting of negative x-coordinates and positive y-coordinates, Quadrant III consisting of negative x-coordinates and negative y-coordinates, and Quadrant IV consisting of positive x-coordinates and negative y-coordinates.
(3, -2), Quadrant IV is correct because it lists the coordinates in the correct order and correctly identifies the Quadrant.
(3, -2), Quadrant II is incorrect because, while it lists the coordinates in the correct order, it misidentifies the Quadrant.
(-2, 3), Quadrant IV is incorrect because, while it correctly identifies the Quadrant, it lists the coordinates in the incorrect order.
(-2, 3), Quadrant II is incorrect because it both lists the coordinates in the incorrect order and misidentifies the Quadrant.
Example Question #191 : Advanced Geometry
Which graph correctly represents the position of the point at ?
Coordinate points are given x-coordinate first, y-coordinate second. The correct representation plots the point one unit to the left of the origin on the x-axis and four units up from the origin on the y-axis.
Example Question #13 : How To Graph An Ordered Pair
Which of the following correctly identifies Points A and B, in that order, on the line?
Coordinate points are given x-coordinate first, y-coordinate second.
(-2, 1), (2, 4) is correct because it list the coordinates of each point in the correct order.
(1, -2), (4, 2) is incorrect because it lists the coordinates of each point in the incorrect order.
(2, 4), (-2, 1) is incorrect because, while it lists the coordinates of each point correctly, it misidentifies the points.
(4, 2), (1, -2) is incorrect because it both lists the coordinates of each point in the incorrect order and misidentifies the points.
