How do you make a graph from points?

Answer 1

Let us consider a point (3,4). Now, the number written first is the x-coordinate and the next number is the y-coordinate.

The x-axis of a graph is the horizontal line and the y-axis is the vertical line. the x-coordinates are plotted taking the x-axis for reference and the y-coordinates are plotted taking the y-axis as reference. So now, if we have the point (3,4) then we see the x-axis to see where the x-coordinate is. We have 3 as x-coordinate. Just keep a mental note of where the "3" is on the x-axis. then see the y-xis and try to find out where the y-coordinate is (In this case, 4). daw a horizontal line from 4 in the y-axis and a vertical line from 3 in the x-axis. These two lines meet a point. this point is the point we had to plot i.e., (3,4). If you observe the graph so plotted, you will see that (3,4) is at a distance of 3 units from the origin along the x-axis and 4 units from the origin along the y-axis.
