The first coordinate of a point corresponds to the x-axis and the second coordinate corresponds to the y-axis.
Practice makes perfect
We want to graph and label the trapezoid RSTU with the given vertices.
R(- 1,3), S(2,2), T(2,- 1), U(- 1,- 2)
To do so we must recall that the first coordinate of a point corresponds to the x-axis and the second coordinate corresponds to the y-axis.
