In an ordered pair, such as x , y , the first value is called the x-coordinate and the second value is the y-coordinate. Note that the x- coordinate is listed before the y- coordinate. Since the origin has an x- coordinate of 0 and a y- coordinate of 0, its ordered pair is written 0, 0.
To identify the location of this point, start at the origin 0, 0 and move right along the x- axis until you are under the point. Look at the label on the x- axis. The 4 indicates that, from the origin, you have traveled four units to the right along the x -axis.
This is the x- coordinate, the first number in the ordered pair. From 4 on the x- axis move up to the point and notice the number with which it aligns on the y- axis. The 3 indicates that, after leaving the x -axis, you traveled 3 units up in the vertical direction, the direction of the y -axis. This number is the y- coordinate, the second number in the ordered pair. With an x- coordinate of 4 and a y- coordinate of 3, you have the ordered pair 4, 3.
Begin at the origin and move along the x- axis. This is the x- coordinate and is written first in the ordered pair. Move from 5 up to the ordered pair and read the number on the y- axis. This is the y- coordinate and is written second in the ordered pair. Now that you know how to use the x- and y- axes, you can plot an ordered pair as well.
Just remember, both processes start at the origin—the beginning! The example that follows shows how to graph the ordered pair 1,3. The x- coordinate is 1 because it comes first in the ordered pair. Start at the origin and move a distance of 1 unit in a positive direction to the right from the origin along the x- axis.
The y- coordinate is 3 because it comes second in the ordered pair. From here move directly 3 units in a positive direction up. To locate a point on the coordinate plane, follow the steps given below:. In this section, we are going to learn how to plot a point on the coordinate plane. To plot a point in the coordinate plane, follow the steps given below:. Note that P is in the first quadrant. Also, this is known as the positive coordinate plane as the value of both the coordinates for any point in this quadrant will be positive.
Find out any three points that lie in the positive coordinate plane and for which the abscissa and ordinate are equal and non-negative. Example 1: Let's help Olivia and Jane plot the following points in the Cartesian plane:. A and C are in the first quadrant. B is in the second quadrant. D is in the fourth quadrant. Example 2: Here are a few points plotted in a coordinate plane:. A 1,2 , B 3, -2 , C -3, -3 , D -4, 2 , E -1, 2 , F 3,0 , G 0, -3 Look at the points plotted in the graph below and answer the following questions:.
Example 3: A person rolls two rolling dice at the same time. Let the numbers which show on Die - 1 and Die - 2 be represented by x and y respectively. After each roll, the point P x, y is plotted in the plane. First, you have to understand and know that a graph paper is essential to lay out the coordinate plane. First, understand the basic things such as what is graph, coordinates of points, and identify the x-axis and y-axis. Graphs: Often, you come across the word "graphs".
What exactly it is? It is nothing but a visual representation to understand the link between two variables such as x and y. Generally, it has the two axes known the x horizontal and y vertical axes.
These axes match with the variables that you are relating. The point wherein these two axes intersect is termed origin and identifies as a point 0,0. Coordinates of Point: A point is the fundamental relationship showed on a graph.
Every point defines a pair of numbers having two coordinates. Coordinates are nothing but a set of numbers, normally used to spot the place of a point over the graph. Let's take a closer look at the different parts of the grid. Point to the horizontal line on the grid. Say: This line is called the x-axis. Point to the vertical line on the grid. Ask: What do you think this line is called?
Students should make the connection to the y -axis. Say: Now, let's locate the ordered pairs on the grid. Who can find 1,6? Have a volunteer describe the location of the ordered pair. Mark the location on the coordinate grid for all students to see. Then have students locate the rest of the ordered pairs on their own grids. Say: Let's connect all of the points. What figure did we make? Have students use a straight edge to connect the points.
Show students how extending both ends of the line slightly, and drawing arrows, shows that the line goes on in both directions. Students should identify the figure as a straight line. Use the numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 for x. Teaching Quadrant Numbers on a Graph. With this math lesson, you can teach students about coordinates, integers, coordinate planes, and functions on a graph.
