Exercise 6 Page 101

In an ordered pair, the coordinate comes first and the coordinate comes second.

Location: Quadrant IV
Graph:

Practice makes perfect

In an ordered pair, the first number shows the coordinate and the second number shows the coordinate.

coordinate

To graph we first find on the axis and make a mental note of this The coordinate tells us to move two units in the positive horizontal direction.

coordinate

Next, we find on the axis and follow this until it collides with the grid line from our coordinate. The coordinate tells us to move one unit in the negative vertical direction.

The point lies on the point at which these two grid lines intersect. We can see that the point is in Quadrant IV.
