How to graph a point

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.

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.

Find the x-coordinate by going left on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly above the point. The x-coordinate is .

Now, continue down until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is .

are the coordinates for point C.

Find the x-coordinate by going left 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 .

are the coordinates for point D.

Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly above the point. The x-coordinate is .

Now, continue down until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is .

are the coordinates for point E.

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 .

are the coordinates for point G.

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 .

are the coordinates for point H.

Since there is no movement on the x-axis, the x-coordinate is .

Go up the vertical y-axis until you reach the point. The y-coordinate is .

are the coordinates of point J.

Find the x-coordinate by going right on the horizontal x-axis until you come across the line that is directly above the point. The x-coordinate is .

Now, continue down until you reach the point and look across to the vertical y-axis. The y-coordinate is .

are the coordinates for point L.

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 .

are the coordinates for point M.
