Example Question #161 : Coordinate Geometry
Which coordinate point is farthest from the -axis?
Compare the absolute value of each of the coordinate points values. Since, the value of point has the greatest absolute value, this point has the farthest distance to the horizontal -axis.
Example Question #162 : Geometry
Find the equation of the line that passes through coordinate point .
To find the equation of the line that passes through coordinate point , plug the and values into each equation. The correct equation will end with a true statement.
The solution is:
,
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Select the coordinate point with the farthest distance from the -axis.
Since the -axis runs vertically, the point that has the coordinate with the greatest absolute value will be farthest from the -axis. Therefore, coordinate point has the longest distance to the -axis, because the point is a distance of away from the -axis. Every other coordinate point has an absolute distance of or less.
Example Question #2 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
The coordinate point is on the line represented by which of these linear expressions?
To find the equation of the line that passes through coordinate point , plug the and values into each equation. The correct equation will end with a true statement.
The solution is:
,
Example Question #3 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Which of the following points corresponds to ?
Recall that in a coordinate , the first number corresponds to how to move on the horizontal x-axis, and the second number corresponds to how to move on the veritcal y-axis.
Every time you see a positive number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the right. Every time you see a negative number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the left.
When you see a positive number in the y-coordinate, you will move up. When you see a negative number in the y-coordinate, you will move down.
To get to the point , move units to the right on the x-axis, then move units up on the y-axis.
Example Question #4 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Which of the following points corresponds to ?
Recall that in a coordinate , the first number corresponds to how to move on the horizontal x-axis, and the second number corresponds to how to move on the veritcal y-axis.
Every time you see a positive number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the right. Every time you see a negative number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the left.
When you see a positive number in the y-coordinate, you will move up. When you see a negative number in the y-coordinate, you will move down.
To get to the point , move units to the left on the x-axis, then move units up on the y-axis.
Example Question #5 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Which of the following points corresponds to ?
Recall that in a coordinate , the first number corresponds to how to move on the horizontal x-axis, and the second number corresponds to how to move on the veritcal y-axis.
Every time you see a positive number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the right. Every time you see a negative number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the left.
When you see a positive number in the y-coordinate, you will move up. When you see a negative number in the y-coordinate, you will move down.
To get to the point , move units to the left on the x-axis, then move units down on the y-axis.
Example Question #11 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Which of the following points corresponds to ?
Recall that in a coordinate , the first number corresponds to how to move on the horizontal x-axis, and the second number corresponds to how to move on the veritcal y-axis.
Every time you see a positive number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the right. Every time you see a negative number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the left.
When you see a positive number in the y-coordinate, you will move up. When you see a negative number in the y-coordinate, you will move down.
To get to the point , move units to the left on the x-axis, then move units down on the y-axis.
Example Question #162 : Geometry
Which of the following corresponds with the point ?
Recall that in a coordinate , the first number corresponds to how to move on the horizontal x-axis, and the second number corresponds to how to move on the veritcal y-axis.
Every time you see a positive number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the right. Every time you see a negative number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the left.
When you see a positive number in the y-coordinate, you will move up. When you see a negative number in the y-coordinate, you will move down.
To get to the point , move units to the right on the x-axis, then move units down on the y-axis.
