The 1st number in the ordered pair (-4) is the x-coordinate. So, beginning from the origin, travel -4 units in the x-direction, i.e. 4 units to the left. The second number in the ordered pair (2) is the y-coordinate. So, now turn and travel 2 units in the y-direction, i.e. 2 units up. Where does that put you?
OpenStudy (ronlover101):
A?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Correct. Well done.
OpenStudy (ronlover101):
I have another question can you help me?

Points A and B lie on the graph of the equation y = 5.2x.
What are the y-coordinates for each point?
Point A: (−6, ) Point B: (7, )
OpenStudy (ronlover101):
I am just terrible at algebra.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No worries. You are given the x-coordinate for each point. Just substitute each x-value into the given equation and solve for the associated y-value. For example, if you were given
Point C: (-3, )
you would calculate as follows;\[y=5.2x\]\[y=5.2(-3)\]\[y=-15.6\]Get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Not quite. Use a calculator and try again.
OpenStudy (ronlover101):
-31.2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Excellent.
