Question

A coordinate grid from negative 2 to 0 to positive 2 is drawn. There are three grid lines between a whole unit on the grid.

Part A: Which point represents the origin?

Part B: Starting from the origin, explain how to plot the following three points accurately:

(1, −1)
(−1, 1.25)
(−2, fraction 3 over 4)

Answer 1

please help me

Answer 2

there are 64 little squares in each quadrant

Answer 3

Do you have the picture?

Answer 4

i have one but i cant put it on here

Answer 5

For part A, do you know what is the origin. What is its coordinates?

Answer 6

I dont know the origin but the coordinates are at the bottom of the question

Answer 7

The origin is the center of the grid, with coordinates (0, 0), do you have it in the picture?

Answer 8

yes but there is only 1 zero

Answer 9

Ok, that's the one. Its Part A.
For Part B, do you know how to plot the points?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

Then it should be easy for you.
Let's practice point (1, -1), how do you plot this?

Answer 12

put it in the 2nd quadrant then find the one on the right side take it to the left and down to the -1

Answer 13

Can you sketch it here, not too clear to me.

Answer 14

Thanks but this is incorrect.

Answer 15

?

Answer 16

Pairs of coordinates represent (x, y) the first number, the x-coordinate represents the distance left or right from the origin.
The second number, the y-coordinate represents the distance up or down from the origin.

Answer 17

To plot (1, -1) you go right 1 unit and then down 1 unit (down as it is negative)

Answer 18

Let me know if its clear.

Answer 19

I dont understand

Answer 20

This is opposite of what you did to plot the point.
First number means left or right, the second number means up or down.

Answer 21

oh ok

Answer 22

I get it now

Answer 23

Can you do the other points?

Answer 24

I think so

Answer 25

Let me know if any difficulties and good luck.

Answer 26

does it go like that since the first number is negative?

Answer 27

Yes for the second point. You can plot this more accurately on the grid.
Its exactly 1 unit left and 1 and quarter unit up.

Answer 28

I know, that's what I tried to do.

Answer 29

I think you are done. Good job.

Answer 30

Thank you so much

Answer 31

You are welcome!
