Plot the points (x, y) given by the following table:
x 2 4 -3 -2 3 0
y 4 2 0 5 -3 0

Solution:

Given, the table represents the x-coordinates and y-coordinates to be plotted in the graph.

We have to plot the points.

Let the first point (2, 4) be P

The point P lies in the first quadrant as the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are positive.

Let the second point (4, 2) be Q

The point Q lies in the first quadrant as the x-coordinate and y-coordinate are positive.

Let the third point (-3, 0) be R

The point R lies on the negative x-axis as the y-coordinate is zero.

Let the fourth point (-2, 5) be S

The point S lies in the second quadrant as the x-coordinate is negative and y-coordinate is positive.

Let the fifth point (3, -3) be T

The point T lies in the fourth quadrant as the x-coordinate is positive and y-coordinate is negative.

Let the sixth point (0, 0) be O

The point O is the point of intersection of both the axes.

Now plotting the points P, Q, R, S, T and O we get

Plot the points (x, y) given by the following table: x 2 4 -3 -2 3 0, y 4 2 0 5 -3 0

Summary:

In a two dimensional coordinate system, the x-coordinate is called abscissa and the y-coordinate is called the ordinate. On plotting the points in the given table we obtain a graph mentioned above
