How Do You Plot Points in the Coordinate Plane?

Graph the point (3,4) on the coordinate plane.

www.VirtualNerd.com

SUMMARY

Draw the y-axis and label the first 4 positive units

Then draw the x-axis and label the first 4 positive

units

3 is the x-coordinate

4 is the y-coordinate

To plot (3,4) we have to start at the origin

Since the x-coordinate is positive 3, we move to the

right 3 units

Since the y-coordinate is positive 4, we move up 4

units

Now we plot the point (3,4)

NOTES

The y-axis is vertical, and the x-axis is horizontal

Take a look at the point we are trying to plot and

decide what the x and y coordinates are

We are plotting (3,4)

The x-coordinate is 3, and the y-coordinate is 4

The x-coordinate is 3, and the y-coordinate is 4

The x-coordinate is 3, and the y-coordinate is 4

The x-coordinate comes first, and the y-coordinate

is second

We are plotting (3,4)

The x-coordinate comes first, and the y-coordinate

is second

If the x-coordinate is positive we move to the right,

if it is negative we move to the left

The x-coordinate, 3, so we move to the right three

units

Our x-coordinate is not negative, but if it was, we

would move to the left

The y-coordinate is 4

The y-coordinate, 4, so we move up four units

Our y-coordinate is not negative, but if it was, we

would move down

We plot a point by drawing a dot on the graph at

the proper coordinates
