Exercise 102 Page 48

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

Practice makes perfect

In an ( x, y) ordered pair, the first number shows the x-coordinate and the second number shows the y-coordinate. To graph ( -1, 3), we first find -1 on the x-axis and make a mental note of this grid line. The x-coordinate -1 tells us to move one unit in the negative horizontal direction.

Next, we find 3 on the y-axis and follow this grid line until it collides with the grid line from our x-coordinate. The y-coordinate 3 tells us to move three units in the positive vertical direction.

The point ( -1, 3) lies on the point at which these two grid lines intersect.
