Graph Points To graph an ordered pair means to draw a dot at the point on the
coordinate plane that corresponds to the ordered pair. To graph an ordered pair (x, y), begin
at the origin. Move left or right x units. From there, move up or down y units. Draw a dot at
that point.
Example
Plot each point on a coordinate plane.
a. R(3, 2)
Start at the origin. Move left 3 units since the x-coordinate
is 3. Move up 2 units since the y-coordinate is 2. Draw a
dot and label it R.
b. S(0, 3)
Start at the origin. Since the x-coordinate is 0, the point
will be located on the y-axis. Move down 3 units since the
y-coordinate is 3. Draw a dot and label it S.
