Plot points associated with ordered pairs of numbers;
determine the quadrant in which a point lies.
On the number line, each point is the graph of a number. On a plane, each point is the graph of a number pair. To form the plane, we use two perpendicular number lines called axes. They cross at a point called the origin. The arrows show the positive directions.

Consider the ordered pair (3, 4). The numbers in an ordered pair are called coordinates. In (3, 4), the first coordinate (the abscissa) is 3 and the second coordinate (the ordinate) is 4. To plot (3, 4) ,we start at the origin and move horizontally to the 3. Then we move up vertically 4 units and make a “dot.”

Graphs and Applications of Linear Equations
To graph a linear equation:
1. Select a value for one variable and calculate the corresponding value of the other variable. Form an ordered pair using alphabetical order as indicated by the variables.
2. Repeat step (1) to obtain at least two other ordered pairs. Two points are essential to determine a straight line. A third point serves as a check.
3. Plot the ordered pairs and draw a straight line passing through the points. d

b) We have three ordered pairs from part (a). We plot these points and see that they line up. Thus our calculations are probably correct. Since we are considering only the year 2015 and the number of years since and since the population, in billions, for those years will be positive (y > 0), we need only the first quadrant for the graph. We use the three points we have plotted to draw a straight line.

World Population
To use the graph to estimate world population in 2015, we first note that this year corresponds to x = 35. We need to determine which y-value is paired with x = 35. We locate the point on the graph by moving up vertically from x = 35 and then find the value on the y-axis that corresponds to that point. It appears that the world population in 2015 will be about 7.1 billion.
