Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Remember that the x-axis goes horizontally and the y-axis goes vertically.
1. The axis runs horizontally (side to side).
2. The axis runs vertically (up and down).
3. A point on a coordinate plane is written as an ordered pair (x, y). The first number tells you the position on the axis, and the second number tells you the position on the axis.
Look at the graph below. Write the ordered pair for each point.
A = ( , )
B = ( , )
C = ( , )
Plot and label the following points on the graph below.
D = (2, 5)
E = (7, 1)
F = (3, 8)
1. The x-axis is sometimes called the horizontal axis.
True
False
2. When plotting a point (3, 4), you move 4 units to the right and 3 units up.
