Plotting Points in Quadrant I

Plotting Points in All Quadrants - How it Works - Video

Example 1

Example 1:

When plotting points, we should remember that we walk before we fly. So we always use the x-axis (the walk part) first then the y-axis (the fly part) second. So for the point (4, 3) we walk 4 paces to right then we fly 3 spaces up.

Example 2

Example 2:

When plotting points, we should remember that we walk before we fly. So we always use the x-axis (the walk part) first then the y-axis (the fly part) second. So for the point (0, 5) we do not walk anywhere because the first number is 0, then we fly 5 spaces up.

Example 3

Example 3:

When plotting points, we should remember that we walk before we fly. So we always use the x-axis (the walk part) first then the y-axis (the fly part) second. So for the point (5, 0) we walk 5 paces to the right then we don't fly anywhere because the second number is 0.

Example 4

Example 4:

When plotting points, we should remember that we walk before we fly. So we always use the x-axis (the walk part) first then the y-axis (the fly part) second. So for the point (0, 0) we don't walk anywhere because the first number is 0 and we don't fly anywhere because the second number is 0.

Example 5

Example 5:

When plotting points, we should remember that we walk before we fly. So we always use the x-axis (the walk part) first then the y-axis (the fly part) second. So for the point (3, 1) we walk 3 paces to the right then we fly 1 space up.
