QuestionHow do you correctly plot the point on a coordinate plane? Choose the right method from options a-d.
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The coordinate plane is a-dimensional plane with a horizontal axis (x-axis) and a vertical axis (y-axis).
. The point to be plotted is (3,6).
3. The origin of the coordinate plane is the point (0,0).
4. Moving to the right on the x-axis corresponds to increasing x values.
5. Moving up on the y-axis corresponds to increasing y values.
STEP 2
In a coordinate plane, the first number in the pair (,6) is the x-coordinate and the second number is the y-coordinate. This means we move units along the x-axis and6 units along the y-axis.
STEP 3
The correct process for plotting a point on the coordinate plane starts at the origin.
STEP 4
From the origin, we move along the x-axis according to the x-coordinate. In this case, we move3 units to the right.
STEP 5
After moving along the x-axis, we then move along the y-axis according to the y-coordinate. In this case, we move units up.
STEP 6
Plot the point at the location after moving3 units to the right on the x-axis and6 units up on the y-axis.
The correct process for plotting the point (3,6) on the coordinate plane is thus Start at the origin. Move3 units to the right on the x-axis and then move6 units up. Plot the point there.
This corresponds to option (c) in the given choices.
