Question

Plot each point on graph paper.

$A(2,1)$.

Short answer

The graph of the point $A(2,1)$is:

Step-by-step solution

Step 1. Define coordinate of a point.

Coordinate $(x,y)$of a point is an ordered pair of numbers; that is, a number on the x-axis called anx-coordinate, and a number on they-axis called ay-coordinate.

Step 2. State the steps to plot the coordinates.

Steps to plot the coordinates are:

• Move to positivex axis by 2 units as value ofx is 2.
• Then move in positivey direction by 1 unit as value ofy is 1.

Step 3. Plot the coordinates.

The plot of the coordinate is shown below :
