Question 1209889: How to put this on a graph (0.5,2)(3,3.5)(6,2)(3.5,0.5)
Answer by CPhill(1959)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It's easy to plot these points on a graph! Here's how you do it, and how to visualize it:
**Understanding Coordinate Pairs**
Each pair of numbers (like (0.5, 2)) represents a point on a graph. The first number is the x-coordinate, and the second number is the y-coordinate.
**Steps to Plot the Points**
1. **Draw Your Axes:**
* Draw a horizontal line (the x-axis).
* Draw a vertical line that intersects the x-axis (the y-axis). The intersection point is (0, 0), the origin.
* Mark numbers on the x-axis going to the right from the origin (1, 2, 3, etc.).
* Mark numbers on the y-axis going upwards from the origin (1, 2, 3, etc.).
2. **Plot Each Point:**
* **(0.5, 2):**
* Go to 0.5 on the x-axis (halfway between 0 and 1).
* Go up to 2 on the y-axis.
* Place a dot or an "x" at that location.
* **(3, 3.5):**
* Go to 3 on the x-axis.
* Go up to 3.5 on the y-axis (halfway between 3 and 4).
* Place a dot or an "x" at that location.
* **(6, 2):**
* Go to 6 on the x-axis.
* Go up to 2 on the y-axis.
* Place a dot or an "x" at that location.
* **(3.5, 0.5):**
* Go to 3.5 on the x-axis (halfway between 3 and 4).
* Go up to 0.5 on the y-axis (halfway between 0 and 1).
* Place a dot or an "x" at that location.
**Tips for Graphing**
* **Use Graph Paper:** Graph paper makes it much easier to keep your lines and points accurate.
* **Label Your Axes:** Always label the x-axis and y-axis with what they represent (if applicable).
* **Scale Your Axes:** Choose a scale that allows all your points to fit comfortably on the graph.
* **Be Neat:** Neatness is important for accurate graphing.
**Visualization**
If you follow these steps, you'll see the points scattered on the graph. They don't form a straight line or a simple curve, but they represent the data you provided.
