Question

graph the point (1, 9) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x - coordinate

The point is \((1,9)\), so the x - coordinate is \(1\). Move \(1\) unit to the right from the origin (\(0,0\)) along the x - axis.

Step2: Identify y - coordinate

The y - coordinate is \(9\). From the position \(x = 1\) on the x - axis, move \(9\) units up along the vertical line \(x = 1\) (since in a coordinate plane, for a point \((x,y)\), we first move along x - axis then along y - axis). The intersection of the vertical line through \(x = 1\) and the horizontal line through \(y=9\) is the point \((1,9)\).

(Note: Since this is a graphing problem, the final answer is the plotted point at \((1,9)\) on the coordinate plane. To describe the plotting: Start at the origin \((0,0)\). Move 1 unit to the right (because the x - value is 1) and then 9 units up (because the y - value is 9) and mark the point there.)

Answer:

The point \((1,9)\) is plotted by moving 1 unit right from the origin and then 9 units up, marking the intersection of \(x = 1\) and \(y=9\) on the coordinate plane.
