2. Geocaching is an outdoor activity that is much like a treasure hunt. Clues to the location of each treasure, or cache, are given for seekers to discover the hidden location. The coordinates below represent the locations of several caches. A (–3, 5)D (–7, –2) B (2, 1)E (0, 9) C (–6, 0)F (3, 0) 2 3.4.1: Graphing Linear Functions

3. 1.Use graph paper to graph each point on the same coordinate plane. 2.Identify the quadrant in which each point lies. If the point does not lie in a quadrant, identify if it is an x- intercept or a y-intercept. 3 3.4.1: Graphing Linear Functions

5. 2.Identify the quadrant in which each point lies. If the point does not lie in a quadrant, identify if it is an x-intercept or a y-intercept. Point A (–3, 5) is in the second quadrant. Point B (2, 1) is in the first quadrant. Point C (–6, 0) is an x-intercept. Point D (–7, –2) is in the third quadrant. Point E (0, 9) is a y-intercept. Point F (3, 0) is an x-intercept. 5 3.4.1: Graphing Linear Functions
