Algebra Period 3

Coordinate Plane
The coordinate system is a way of locating points in a plane in relation to two perpendicular number lines. These lines intersect at the origin (0, 0) and divide the plane into four quadrants. Points are designed by ordered pairs (x, y) which indicate their location on the coordinate plane. The horizontal axis line is called the x-axis-- the first number in the ordered pair, the x-coordinate tells how far to the right (if positive) or to the left (if negative) the point (x, y) is located. The vertical axis is called the y-axis-- the second number, the y- coordinate-- tells how far up-- if it is positive or down (if it is negative) the point (x, y) is located.
In the first quadrant both the x- coordinate and the y-coordinate are positive. In the second quadrant, the x is negative and the y is positive; in the third quadrant BOTH are negative; and in the fourth, the x is positive and the y is negative.

Now to make sure you have the correct answers:

A = 6
B = 8
C = -11
D = -4
E = 10 (2 + 10 - 2)
F = 3 (1 is neither prime nor composite!)
G = -14
H = -13
J = 11




Remember: that just as x comes before y in the alphabet AND h (for horizontal) comes before v (vertical) -- first move the x-distance in the horizontal direction and then the y-distance in the vertical direction... HAVE FUN and make your graph PIZZAZZY!!

In the first quadrant both the x- coordinate and the y-coordinate are positive. In the second quadrant, the x is negative and the y is positive; in the third quadrant BOTH are negative; and in the fourth, the x is positive and the y is negative.



Now to make sure you have the correct answers to the questions about mean:
A = 6
B = 2
C = 5
D = -9
E = 4
F = 7
G = -1
H = 0
J = 8
K = 10
M = -3
N = 1
P = -8

Remember: that just as x comes before y in the alphabet AND h (for horizontal) comes before v (vertical) -- first move the x-distance in the horizontal direction and then the y-distance in the vertical direction... HAVE FUN and make your graph PIZZAZZY!!

Math 6 Honors Periods 1, 6 & 7

Coordinate Plane
The coordinate system is a way of locating points in a plane in relation to two perpendicular number lines. These lines intersect at the origin (0, 0) and divide the plane into four quadrants. Points are designed by ordered pairs (x, y) which indicate their location on the coordinate plane. The horizontal axis line is called the x-axis-- the first number in the ordered pair, the x-coordinate thells how far to the right ( if positive) or to the left ( if negative) the point ( x, y) is located. The vertical axis is called the y-axis-- the second number, the y- coordinate-- tells how far up-- if it is positive or down ( if it is negative) the point ( x, y) is located.
In the first quadrant both the x- coordinate and the y-coordinate are positive. This is the quadrant we are graphing for our first assignment. All ordered pairs are positive.

Remember: that just as x comes before y in the alphabet AND h ( for horizontal) comes before v ( vertical) -- first move the x-distance in the horizontal direction and then the y-distance in the vertical direction... HAVE FUN and make your graph PIZZAZZY!!
