Step by step
The question
Question: plot (3, 2).
(3, 2)
The first number is x.
It says left or right.
3 is positive, so we go right.
x = 3 → right 3
The second number is y.
It says up or down.
2 is positive, so we go up.
y = 2 → up 2
1 Start at 0
Draw the grid.
The x-axis goes across.
The y-axis goes up and down.
They meet at 0.
That point is called the origin.
Start at 0, where the axes meet.
2 Go right 3
x is 3.
From 0, go right 3.
3 Go up 2
Then go up 2.
Put a dot here.
This is the point (3, 2).
4 Check
Let's check.
From the dot, go straight down to the x-axis.
We meet 3.
Go straight across to the y-axis.
We meet 2.
So (3, 2) is right!
Let's look back.
First: start at 0.
Then: go right 3.
Then: go up 2.
Last: check.
Answer
(3, 2)
