Example Questions
Example Question #26 : Graphing
Which image depicts the point 
The first number, 
Example Question #27 : Graphing
The length of line segment 
To answer this question, we will have to manipulate the distance formula:
To get rid of the square root, we can square both sides:
and plug in the information given in the question.
At this point we can simply plug in the possible values to determine which combination of coordinates will make the equation above true.
Thus the correct coordinate is,
Example Question #23 : Graphing
Graph the following 4 points. They will be displayed as (x,y) pairs.
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
To graph these points we just need to remember that the first number is the x value and the second number is the y value. For (A) we have (1,3). So we move one tick over on the positive x-axis. Then from there we move up to the third tick on the y axis:
If the value is negative we must move in the other direction. So, for all 4 points,
Example Question #21 : Functions And Lines
What are the coordinates of the point on the given graph?
When trying to determine coordinates of a point you need to look at the value of x first (how many units left or right the point is, then the y-value (how many up or down it is).
When you look at this point you see that it is moved right 2 units and up 1.
So your coordinates are:
