Question

graph the points a(1, 3) and b(-1, 2) and connect them to create a segment on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Locate x - coordinate of A

Find x = 1 on x - axis.

Step2: Locate y - coordinate of A

Move 3 units up from x = 1.

Step3: Locate x - coordinate of B

Find x=-1 on x - axis.

Step4: Locate y - coordinate of B

Move 2 units up from x=-1.

Step5: Connect points

Draw a line segment between A and B.

Answer:

To graph point A(1, 3):

1. Locate x - coordinate 1 on the x - axis.
2. From x = 1, move 3 units up along the y - axis and mark the point A.

To graph point B(-1, 2):

1. Locate x - coordinate - 1 on the x - axis.
2. From x=-1, move 2 units up along the y - axis and mark the point B.

Then connect points A and B with a straight - line segment.
