plot 0.12 on the graph
Answers
Answer:
When the two axes meet, they form four quadrants. These are labeled as Quadrants I, II, III, and IV (usually shown in Roman numerals) and are ordered counterclockwise starting from the upper-right quadrant.
Plotting Points on a Graph
Cartesian points are written as xy pairs in parentheses, like so: (x, y). To graph a point, first locate its position on the x-axis, then find its location on the y-axis, and finally plot where these meet.
The center point of the graph is called the origin and is written as the point (0, 0) because it's located at the zero point on the x-axis and the zero point on the y-axis.
For example, to plot the point (3, -6), find the positive 3 on the x-axis and the negative 6 on the y-axis.
Practice makes perfect, so let's give the Cartesian coordinates of each point and name the quadrant they lie in, using the graph below.
A. (5, 3), Quadrant I
B. (-3, 1), Quadrant II
C. (-6, -4), Quadrant III
D. (0, -3). It lies on an axis so it's not in a quadrant.
E. (0, 0). No quadrant because it's at the origin.
F. (4, -5), Quadrant IV
G. (6.5, 0). It lies on an axis so it's not in a quadrilateral
