1. Plotting Points
Jessica Tate

2. Do you know what the x-axis and y-axis are?
The x-axis is the horizontal axis on a grid
The y-axis is the vertical axis on a grid
Also notice where the origin is. This is the point (0,0).

3. When plotting points the first coordinate is the x-coordinate and the second is the y-coordinate
(x,y)

4. Let’s practice by plotting
When plotting the coordinate (2,4) start at the origin and go 2 units to the right and 4 units up.

5. What about negative coordinates?
Negative x coordinates are to the left of the origin and negative y coordinates are below the origin.
Since the x value, 3
is negative it is
on the left side of
the origin.

6. Any Graphing Questions?

7. Let’s practice by playing Hurkle
