Question

Graph each ordered pair on a coordinate grid.

$\left(3,0\right)$

Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

The ordered pair on a coordinate grid is as shown below:

Step 1. State the concept for finding the coordinates of a point.

Coordinate $\left(x,y\right)$ of a point is an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on the  x-axis called an  x -coordinate, and a number on the  y-axis called a  y -coordinate. 

 

In rectangular coordinate system any point be in the form of $\left(x,y\right)$.

• In Quadrant I, both the coordinates of ordered pair are positive, that is, $\left(+,+\right)$.
• In Quadrant II, first number is negative and second is positive, that is, $\left(-,+\right)$.
• In Quadrant III, both the coordinates of ordered pair are negative, that is, $\left(-,-\right)$.
• In Quadrant IV, first point is positive and second is negative, that is, width="42" style="max-width: none; vertical-align: -3px;" $\left(+,-\right)$.

Step 2. State the steps to plot the coordinates.

In order to plot the point $\left(3,0\right)$, observe that $\left(3,0\right)$ lies on x-axis.

Steps to plot the coordinates $\left(3,0\right)$ are:

• Move to positive  x-axis by 3 units starting from origin as value of x  is 3.
• Then do not move on y-axis direction as value of y is 0.

Step 3. Plot the coordinates.

The plot of the coordinate as shown below:
