Example Questions

Example Question #1 : How To Graph A Point

What are the coordinates for point H?

Graph8

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly under the point. The x-coordinate is .

Now, continue up until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is .

 are the coordinates for point H.

Example Question #2 : How To Graph A Point

What are the coordinates for point J?

Graph9

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Since there is no movement on the x-axis, the x-coordinate is .

Go up the vertical y-axis until you reach the point. The y-coordinate is .

 are the coordinates of point J.
