Exercises: Graphing Points in the First Quadrant -- Representing and Interpreting Real-World Data
Work through each section in order. When a problem describes a real-world situation, think about what each coordinate means before you answer.
Recall / Warm-Up
Which ordered pair represents a point that is 4 units right and 7 units up from the origin?
(4, 7)
(7, 4)
(4, 0)
(0, 7)
Point P is plotted on the grid below. What is the y-coordinate of point P?
Using the same grid, which point -- P or Q -- is located at (5, 2)?
Point P
Point Q
Neither point is located at (5, 2)
Fluency Practice
Two graphs show the same three points: (1, 3), (2, 6), and (3, 9). Graph 1 has no axis labels. Graph 2 has the x-axis labeled "Number of Bags" and the y-axis labeled "Total Oranges." Which graph tells you more about a real-world situation?
Graph 1 -- the points are plotted the same way either way.
Graph 2 -- the axis labels tell you what the numbers actually represent.
Both graphs tell you the same amount of information.
Neither graph tells you anything without a title.
Bags of apples cost $3 each. Which ordered pair represents buying 4 bags for a total of $12?
(4, 12)
(12, 4)
(3, 4)
(4, 3)
A point is plotted on a grid, 4 units right and 2 units up from the origin. What are the coordinates of this point?
(4, 2)
(5, 3)
(3, 1)
(2, 4)
A rule says the y-value is 3 times the x-value. Complete the table: when x = 4, y = ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ . When x = 5, y = ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ ̲ .
