Day 74 Numeracy (Plotting Points)

Plotting Coordinates

A cooridinate graph is simply to number lines, called x and y, that intersect at their zeros, creating a point (the origin) (0,0). Any point can be plotted on this graph by giving it both an x value and a y value. These values are called coordinated pairs, and are written as (x,y). For the graph below the values for the following points are as follows:

A: (0,4)
B: (4,2)
C: (1,1.5)
D: (-2,2)
E: (-2,-4)
F: (5,-4)

The students will use this to complete the questions from Mathematics Concepts: Student Workbook, pages 102 & 103.
