Question

Sara graphes these ordered pairs in the coordinate plane: (4,2),(6,-3),(-1,1),(7,-5),and (0,-3) which point is graphed incorrectly? Explain your reasoning

A. (4,2) both values are positive only quadrant III

B. (0,-3) the X-coordinate and Y-coordinate are reversed on the graph

C. (-1,1) the X- coordinate is negative and the Y- coordinate is positive in quadrant III

D. (6,-3) the X- coordinate is positive and the coordinate is positive in quadrant II

Answer 1

The answer is B

Explanation:

1. First you want to look at each coordinate point and see which is plotted correctly. (I suggest plotting them yourself, and comparing the two graphs). **if you don't know how to plot a coordinate point, I have listed how to below**
2. Next you compare your answers to the provided answers and select the one that matches your answer.

**How to plot a coordinate point:

The first number in a coordinate pair is the x-value or the value along the horizontal line. You want to mark where the x-value is. Next you wwant to look at the second value or the y-value and mark that point. Next you want to find the point where the x-value and y-value meet. This marks your coordinate point**
