To graph the point (3,2) on a coordinate plane, follow these steps:

1. Draw two perpendicular lines that intersect at a right angle. These lines form the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical).

2. Label the x-axis and y-axis accordingly.

3. Locate the origin, which is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect. This point has coordinates (0,0).

4. Starting from the origin, move horizontally to the right by 3 units along the x-axis.

5. From the point reached in step 4, move vertically upwards by 2 units along the y-axis.

6. Mark the point where the horizontal and vertical lines intersect, which is (3,2).

The graph should look like this:

Answer 2

Before plotting a point on the xy-plane, we should recall the form of a point:

(x, y)

The x-coordinate comes first, and it's followed by the y-coordinate.

By the same analogy, 3 is x and 2 is y.

Now, we go 3 units to the right on the x - axis (horizontal) and 2 units up the y-axis (vertical). Where we land is where we plot the point (3,2).
