5-0 – Intro to Graphing
Warm up: Using the provided map to complete the questions below.
1. The town hall can be found at the
intersection of E. Central Avenue and
___________________________
2. What can be found at the intersection
of N. 3rd Street and E. Jefferson Ave.?
_________________________
On the map, you can identify a location by
the intersection of two streets. Finding
points on a coordinate plane is like finding a
location on a map.
Key Vocabulary:
______________________ __________________: Formed by two number lines (x-axis and y-axis)
______________ and ______________: Intersect at right angles to divide the plane into four
quadrants.
______________________: The first number in the ordered pair (X,Y). Tells how many units to
move to the right/left.
______________________: The second number in the ordered pair (X,Y). Tells how many units
to move up/down.
___________________ ______________: The first number in the pair represents the x-coordinate
and the second represents the y-coordinate.
______________: Where you begin plotting points; (0,0). This is the intersection of the x and yaxis.
To plot a point: (2,3)
1.

3.
4.
Start at origin.
Move 2 units to the right (+2).
Move 3 units up (+3).
Put your point.
Example 1: Finding the coordinates and quadrants of points on a plane.
Give the coordinates and quadrant of each point given:
Point M: (
,
); Quad. _________
_____ units right, ______units up
Point O: (
,
); Quad. _________
_____units left, ______units down
Point P: (
,
); Quad. __________*
______ units left
*Rule: When a point is on an axis, it is not considered to be in a quadrant.
Example 2: Graphing Points on a Coordinate Plane
Graph the following ordered pairs on the coordinate plane:
A
(2, 4)
B
(-3, 5)
C
(1, -4)
D
(-5,-6)
E
(0,6)
F
(5,0)
Got it?
Using the coordinate plane to the right do 1 and 2.
1)
Label the x- axis, y- axis, origin and
4 quadrants on the coordinate plane.
2)
Indicate what signs each
coordinate of the ordered pair must
have to be in the 4 quadrants. Label directly
on coordinate plane.
3)
Exactly where in coordinate plane are the following ordered pairs located?
(quadrant, axis, origin)
a) ( -4 , 9)
b)( 10, 0 )
c) (14, -11)
d) ( 0, -16 )
4)
e) (0, 0)
Plot the given ordered pairs.
(Label with the designated letter)
A(3, -5)
B(0, 2)
5)
f) ( -7, -18)
Using the coordinate plane given, write
the ordered pairs for each point.
