Coordinate Graphs

In this topic, we learn to interpret coordinate graphs. We learn to use ordered pairs to identify and locate points on a grid.

Topic: Locate and Plot a Point

  • Steps to use a coordinate graph:
    Step 1: Start at (0, 0)
    Step 2: Count the number of units to the point to the right. Label it as x
    Step 3: Count the number of units up to the point. Label it as y
    Step 4: The coordinates of the point are (x, y)

  • Steps to plot a point (x, y) on the graph:
    Step 1: Start at (0, 0)
    Step 2: Move x units right. From there move y units up
    Step 3: Place a point and label it
