When plotting a coordinate on a grid do you start with the horizontal line first?

Yes because x is before y as in the coordinate for example of (2, 3)

How do you use the y intercept and slope of a line to graph it?
Here is an example. y = 2x + 3; that is, the slope is 2, and the y-intercept is 3. Start with the y-intercept. Plot the point (0, 2). Now, for the slope: a slope of 2 means that every time you go 1 to the right, you have to go 2 up. Thus, the next point to the right (if you use plotting paper, and one square for each number) would be 1, 4. That is, if you add 1 to the x-coordinate, you have to add 2 to the y-coordinate. After that, once again adding 1 and 2, you get 2, 6. Plot these points, and draw a line through them. Similarly, if you go to the left, for every unit you go to the left you have to go 2 units down. 2, in this case, is the slope; for other slopes, you just have to change the numbers.
Rectangular coordinate system?
x, y, and z ordinates from origin 0, x and y are two dimensional ordinates ie graph axis, z adds third dimension. eg ordinates for point are say 10, 25, 15: start at 0, right for 10(x), left for 25(y), then vertically off the paper toward you for 15(z) both turns are right angles
Is y equals 2 to the x power a linear equation?
If you mean y = 2^x, then no, it is not a linear equation. This is an exponential equation. The graph of this exponential equation would start out near zero on the left-hand side (there is a horizontal asymptote at y = 0) and would gradually increase as you move to the right: overall, it has a curved shaped. If you mean y = 2x, then yes, it is a linear equation.
What are the first five terms of 5n plus 1?
That depends at what value of "n" you start. For example:* Set n = 1. Calculate 5n + 1 for that value. * Repeat for n = 2, 3, 4, and 5. But you could also start at n = 0, for example.
Can you start a sentence with parentheses?
(If it adds clarity) one may start a sentence with parentheses.
What is one benefit of plotting data on the coordinate grid?
what does the second number in the ordered pair tell you?THE 3 TELLS ME HOW FAR TO MOVE UP & DOWN. THIS VERTICAL LINE IS THE Y-AXIS. YOU MARK A LITTLE CIRCLE, CALLED A POINT, WHERE THE X-AXIS & Y-AXIS CROSS. WHEN PLOTTING A COORDINATE ON A GRID DO YOU START WITH THE HORIZONTAL LINE FIRST
How do you plot points?
Suppose you were told to locate "(5, 2)" (pronounced as "the point five two" or just "five two") on the place. Where would you look? To understand the meaning of "(5, 2)", you have to know the following rule: The x-coordinate (the number for the x-axis) always comes first. The first number (the first coordinate) is always on the horizontal axis.So, for the point (5, 2), you would start at the "origin", the spot where the axes cross:then count over to "five" on the x-axis. Then count up to "two", moving parallel to the y-axis... and then draw in the dot.Finding the location of (5, 2) and then drawing its dot is called "plotting the point (5, 2)".See related link for more information on plotting points.
How do you find the coordinates of a point on as coordinate grid?
a coordinate grid is written as the horizontal line is the values of the x-coordinate and the vertical line is the values of the y-coordinate. lets say you have the points (2,3) whenever you see this ( , ) this is called an ordered pair. the x-coordinate always comes first and the y-coordinate comes second.. like this.. (x,y) in the coordinate i gave as an examples (2,3) the 2 is the x-coordinate and 3 is the y-coordinate. first take the x-coordinate. since the horizontal line is for the x-values then you apply the 2 to this horizontal line. the 2 implys that you go over 2 units. since the number 2 is positive you go to the right of the intersection of the two lines. if the two was -2 then you would go left. now take the y-coordinate. since the vertical line is for the y-values then you apply the 3 to the vertical line. the 3 implys that you go up 3 units. since the 3 is positive then means you go up instead of down. if the 3 were a -3 then you would go down three units. now that you have gone 2 units to the right and then 3 units up you should have a dot that is above the horizontal line and the dot should also be to the right of the vertical line. always remember that the point at which your horizontal line (this is for your x-values) and your vertical line (this is for your y-values) is called the point (0,0) this is called the origin. when you are trying to find the coordinate points always start counting from the origin (0,0).
What are rules for reading grid references?
When reading grid references on a map, start by identifying the easting (horizontal) coordinate, followed by the northing (vertical) coordinate. Ensure you read the numbers accurately and place them in the correct order to pinpoint the location on the map.
What happens at the start of Macbeth?
At the start of Macbeth the witches are plotting something.
Why do angles unfold to the left?
It is a standard. One direction must be used as a standard and counter-clockwise is the standard.Most probably from the unit circle (a circle with center at the origin {0,0} and radius of 1 unit. the 0 angle is where the positive horizontal axis is and by necessity the positive angles start in the first quadrant (in our standard Cartesian coordinate system, above the horizontal axis).
In what year did the conspirators start plotting the Gunpowder Plot?

Are there any math words that start with X?
x-axisThe horizontal axis in a Cartesian coordinate plane.x-interceptThe value of x at the point where a line or curve crosses the x-axis.== == The first number in an ordered pair which tells the distance to move right or left from (0, 0)
Why start on the horizontal axis?
We start on the horizontal axis because of tradition. You would get the same results if you started on the vertical axis, as long as you continue to label the horizontal axis as the x-axis and the vertical axis as the y-axis.
What is a coordinate plain?
It's a type of graph. It has coordinates like the ones in Battleship, except these are 2 numbers. It has lots of boxes on it. There are two(2) bold lines, one vertical, one horizontal. The horizontal line is the "X" axis, and the vertical line is the "Y" axis. Like I said before, there are 2 numbers to the coordinate. (Where you put a dot or mark.) The first number is the "X" axis number, and that goes left or right. If it is a negative number, then it goes left. If it is positive, you go right. The other number is the "Y" axis number. That goes up or down. You start from where you left off on the "X" axis, and if it is positive, you go up. If it is negative, you go down. [Ex; if you have the coordinate (5,-3) then you go five to the right, and 3 down, and make a mark on that line.]
How do you make a turtle in graphing ordered pairs?
To graph a turtle using ordered pairs, you would plot points on a coordinate plane. Each ordered pair represents the x and y coordinates of a point. Start by plotting the head of the turtle at the given coordinates, then continue plotting the remaining points to create the turtle's body and limbs. Connect the points with lines to complete the turtle's shape.
Do coordinates start with the y axis or x axis?
the start on the x axis or the horizontal line! (x,y)
