Example Question #1 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Which quadrant would (-3, -5) be in?
IV
II
III
I
III
Two negative points will always be found in Quadrant III.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Which coordinate point is closest to the -axis?
Although coordinate point has the largest
value in comparison to the other answer choices--it is the closest point to the
-axis becaues of the points
value.
Compare the absolute value of each of the coordinate points values. Since, the absolute value of point
is the lowest, the point has the shortest distance to the
-axis.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Select the point that has the shortest distance to the axis.
Since the -axis runs vertically, the point that has the
coordinate with the lowest absolute value will be closest to the
-axis. Therefore, coordinate point
has the shortest distance to the
-axis, because the point is only a distance of
away from the
-axis. Every other coordinate point has an absolute distance of
or more.
Example Question #161 : Geometry
Which coordinate point is farthest from the -axis?
Compare the absolute value of each of the coordinate points values. Since, the
value of point
has the greatest absolute value, this point has the farthest distance to the horizontal
-axis.
Example Question #5 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Find the equation of the line that passes through coordinate point .
To find the equation of the line that passes through coordinate point , plug the
and
values into each equation. The correct equation will end with a true statement.
The solution is:,
Example Question #6 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Select the coordinate point with the farthest distance from the -axis.
Since the -axis runs vertically, the point that has the
coordinate with the greatest absolute value will be farthest from the
-axis. Therefore, coordinate point
has the longest distance to the
-axis, because the point is a distance of
away from the
-axis. Every other coordinate point has an absolute distance of
or less.
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
The coordinate point is on the line represented by which of these linear expressions?
To find the equation of the line that passes through coordinate point , plug the
and
values into each equation. The correct equation will end with a true statement.
The solution is:,
Example Question #1 : How To Find The Points On A Coordinate Plane
Which of the following points corresponds to ?
Recall that in a coordinate , the first number corresponds to how to move on the horizontal x-axis, and the second number corresponds to how to move on the veritcal y-axis.
Every time you see a positive number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the right. Every time you see a negative number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the left.
When you see a positive number in the y-coordinate, you will move up. When you see a negative number in the y-coordinate, you will move down.
To get to the point , move
units to the right on the x-axis, then move
units up on the y-axis.
