How do you plot a point on a coordinate grid?

Lets say your ordered pair is (1,2). You would first go one to the right and then two up. If it was (-1,-2) then you would go one left and then two down.


What do ordered pairs mean on a graph?

On a graph, you have two axis, x and y. In an ordered pair, the first number is the x coordinate, and the second number is the y coordinate. On the x-axis, if the x-coordinate is negative then you go left. If the x-coordinate is positive, then you go right. On the y-axis, it works the same way. If the y-coordinate is negative, you go down, but if it is positive, then you go up. For example, if you had the ordered pair (-7,4), then you would go left seven spaces on the x-axis and up four spaces on the y-axis.

there are quadrants,axis ,and origin. but there are also plotted labeled ordered pair of numbers that go on the quadrants


What is the form for y equals mx plus b?

y=mx+b is commonly referred to as slope-intercept form. It is one way to show a linear equation, where: y = the y part of an ordered pair, x = the x part of an ordered pair, m= the slope of a line-rise over run is slope, so your numerator is how many you go up, and your denominator is how many you go over-you draw these dots and then connect them, and b = the y intercept-that is, the ordered pair where the line crosses over the y axis.

What's the second number in ordered pair that tells the distance to move up or down form the origin?

the first is x and the second is y example~ (3,5) You go across 3 and up 5 just remember, run and jump!


Which ordered pair is a solution to the eqaution x plus 2 equals y?

I have a hunch that this was originally a multiple-choice question, and you haven't given us the list of choices along with the question. There are an infinite number of ordered pairs that solve this equation. Go back to the list under the question, find the ordered pair where the 'y' number is 2 more than the 'x' number, and that's your solution.


One of the numbers of an ordered pair that locate a point on a coordinate graph?

An ordered pair shows how much distance you go in the x-direction and the y-direction. It is represented like this (x,y) You can assigned any number you want. (-2,5) (1,-3) (4,5) (-9,11) So to answer your question you can choose any number in the examples I gave you... therefore 1 can be your answer.
