Answer:

When graphing decimals it is good to remember that a decimal is just part of a whole number. For example, 0.5 is half of 1. Therefore, if you were to plot 0.5 you would draw a dot in between 0 and 1.

6.5 would be in between 6 and 7

7.12 would be a little bit closer to 7 but it would still be in between 7 and 8

Step-by-step explanation: Hope this helps:)

Plotting coordinates can be a little confusing, but it doesn't have to be as long as you remember a few important details. The first number in the coordinate set tells you how far right (for a positive number) or left (for a negative number) you need to travel on the x-axis. The second number in the coordinate set tells you how far up (for a positive number) or down (for a negative number) you need to travel on the y-axis. Any set of coordinates can be represented by the variables x and y. If you picture (x, y), it will help you remember the x-coordinate comes first, so you will travel either right or left before travelling up or down.
