What is vertical change?
On a graph, the distance above and below the x-axis is given by the y-coordinate. Each point has a distinct location on the graph given by (x,y) where x represents the horizontal placement of the point and y represents the vertical placement. As you move from one point to another on the graph, your coordinates change. For example as you go from the point (2, 5) to (6, 15) your x-values went from 2 to 6, meaning they changed by 4 units (the difference in the x-coordinates). The x-values are your horizontal placements, so the horizontal change was 4 units. The y-values, are your vertical placements. They went from 5 to 15, a difference of 10 units, so the Vertical Change is 10 units. Put simply, the vertical change is the difference in the y-coordinates.
If four coins mark the corners of a square how do you move only two of them to define a smaller square?
Move two adjacent coins, leaving the other pair of adjacent coins untouched. Place them on opposite sides of the unmoved pair, so that they become diagonally opposite corners of the new square.
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
Where is the x axis on a grid?
It is usually the horizontal line, increasing in value as you move to the right, from the origin which is a fixed point where the axes intersect.
What move does the denominator of the slope describe?
It is the difference between the coordinates of two points in 2-dimensional space, measured in the horizontal direction.
