Graph Question

[UncleBeck]

Probably really easy but I'm unsure and I want to look good in front of my niece ;-)

Question is:
Which point has its y-coordinate 8 times more than its x-coordinate?

Image attached hopefully...

Thanks

Question is:
Which point has its y-coordinate 8 times more than its x-coordinate?

Ask your niece to write down the coordinates for each of the labeled points.

Then, for each point, compare the y-coordinate to the x-coordinate and ask yourselves, "Does the y-coordinate equal eight times the x-coordinate?"

We write the coordinates as an ordered pair of numbers (inside parentheses, separated by a comma), listing the x-coordinate first:

(x,y)

The coordinates for one of the labeled points are (4,-2). Do you see which one?

Remember, the x-coordinate measures how many units the point is from the y-axis, to the left (positive) or to the right (negative). The y-coordinate measures how many units the point is from the x-axis, above (positive) or below (negative). :cool:
