Example Question #1 : How To Graph A Point
How would you plot the point ?
From the origin, go up units, and right
units
From the origin, go left units, and up
units
From the origin, go right units, and down
units
From the origin, go right units, and up
units
From the origin, go right units, and up
units
For the ordered pair
The first number is for the x-axis, so because it is positive you go right .
The second number is for the y-axis, so because it is positive you go up .

For the ordered pair we would do the following.
The first number is for the x-axis, so because it is negative you go left units.
The second number is for the y-axis, so because it is positive you go up units.
Example Question #2 : How To Graph A Point
In which Quadrant is the point located?
Quadrant I
Quadrant IV
Quadrant III
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
To find out which quadrant a point lives in, we need to remember the qualities of each quadrant. By qualities, I mean the signs associated with the x and y values which are dependent on the quadrant the point resides in.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant I will have a positive x value and a positive y value.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant II will have a negative x value and a positive y value.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant III will have a negative x value and a negative y value.
All coordinate pairs that are in Quadrant IV will have a positive x value and a negative y value.
For the point we see that both the x and y values are negative therefore, the point lies in the third quadrant. We can also check this by starting from the origin and going left 3 units and down 3 units. This will end up in the lower-left section of the coordinate-plane, which is Quadrant III.
Example Question #852 : Act Math
What are the coordinates of point B?
Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly under the point. The x-coordinate is .
Now, continue up until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is .
is then the coordinate of the point.
Example Question #211 : Algebra
What are the coordinates for point A?
