Graphing Coordinates
Graph the point (-1, 3).
- Located in Quadrant 2
What are quadrants?
Quadrants are the four regions of the coordinate plane.
What is a reflection in graphing?
A transformation that is a mirror image with points the same distance from the line of reflection.
What is the x-axis?
The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane.
Graph the point (0, -3)
- Located on the y-axis
What quadrant is (-4, 5) located in?
Quadrant 2
What are the new coordinates for (2, 7) when reflected over the x-axis?
(2, -7)
What is the y-axis?
The vertical number line on a coordinate plane.
Graph the point (5,0)
-Located on the x-axis
What quadrant is (3, -6) located in?
Quadrant 4
What are the new coordinates for (-5, -8) when reflected over the y-axis?
(5, -8)
What is the x-coordinate and where is it located in an ordered pair?
It corresponds to a number on the x-axis and is the FIRST number in an ordered pair.
Graph the point (-2, 2). Label it E. Then graph its reflection over the x-axis. Label the reflection E2.
E (-2, 2) - in quadrant 2
E2 (-2, -2) - in quadrant 3
What quadrant is (0, 3) located in?
It is not in a quadrant; it is on the y-axis.
Graph the point (2, 3) and label it M. Then graph it's reflection over the x-axis and label it M2.
-New point M2 is at the coordinates (2, -3) and is located in Quadrant 4
What is the origin and what are the coordinates that make it up?
It is the point where the number lines intersect. It is located at the ordered pair (0, 0).
Graph the point P (5, 6). Then graph it's reflection over the y-axis. Label the reflected point P2.
P (5, 6) - quadrant 1
P2 (-5, 6) - quadrant 2
What quadrant is (-4, 0) located in?
It is not in a quadrant; it is on the x-axis
Graph the point (-3, 4) and label it A. Graph it's reflection over the y-axis and label it B.
-Point B will be located at (3, 4) and located in Quadrant 1
what is the y coordinate and where is it located in the coordinates ?
It corresponds to a number on the y-axis and is the SECOND number in an ordered pair.
