The document explains the basics of coordinate graphing, including the identification of ordered pairs and the quadrants of the coordinate plane. It provides examples for determining the coordinates of points and identifying the quadrants in which specific points lie. Additionally, it includes practice problems for graphing integers and finding locations of ordered pairs.

5. The
coordinate
plane is
formed by
the
intersection
of two
number
lines.

6. Origin, the
point where
the two
number lines
intersect
y-axis, it is
the vertical
number line
x-axis, it is
the
horizontal
number line
x

7. You can graph points on the
coordinate plane. A point has two
coordinates which form an ordered pair.
The x coordinate tells how far to
move left or right along the x-
axis.
The y coordinate tells how far to
move up or down along the y-axis.
(3, -4)

8. Example 1
What are
the
coordinates
of point A?
A
Start at the
origin. Move
2 units to
the right.
The x
coordinate is
2.
Move up
from the x
axis. The y
coordinate is
4.
The
coordinates
for point A
are (2, 4).

9. Example 2
What are
the
coordinates
of point B?
B
Move 5 units left
from the origin.
The x coordinate is
-5.
Move down
from the x
axis to point B.
The y
coordinate is -
2.
The
coordinates
for point B
are (-5, -2).

10. Practice
Write the
ordered pair
for each
point. A
B
C D
E
F
A (-7, 4)
B (3, -3)
C (3, 0)
D (7, 1)
E (0, -7)
F (-6, -4)

11. The coordinate plane is divided
into four quadrants.
Quadrant II Quadrant I
Quadrant IV
Quadrant III

12. In which
quadrant
is point C
located?
C
Quadrant III
Example 3

13. In which
quadrant
is point D
located?
Example 4

15. Where is ordered
pair F located?
Where is ordered
pair G located?
(-7, 0) on x axis
(0, 4) on y axis

16. Closure
What are the signs for
all of the x-coordinates
and all of the y-
coordinates of the
ordered pairs in the
second quadrant? x negatives, y
positives
