(1.5) Representing Linear Functions by Graphs

The document introduces the key concepts of the coordinate plane, including the x-axis, y-axis, quadrants, ordered pairs, and plotting points. It explains that the coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants by the x-axis and y-axis, and points are represented by ordered pairs (x,y) and plotted based on their x and y values. Examples of plotting various points in different quadrants and on the axes are provided to demonstrate how to graph points on the coordinate plane.

This vertical line is


called the y-axis.

This horizontal line


is called the x-axis.

The x-axis and y-axis
separate the coordinate
plane into 4 parts.

These parts are called
Quadrants.

An ordered pair is a set of
parenthesis with two numbers
inside. The numbers are
separated by a comma.

(1,3)
The first number is called the
x- coordinate.

The second number is called the
y- coordinate.

pair on the coordinate plane.
