Explain how to graph the ordered pair (2, 6).

1 answer

To graph the ordered pair (2, 6), follow these steps:

1. Take out a piece of graph paper or draw a grid on a plain paper to create a coordinate plane. Label the horizontal axis as the x-axis and the vertical axis as the y-axis.

2. Locate the point (2, 6) on the coordinate plane. Start at the origin, which is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect (0, 0).

3. Move 2 units to the right on the x-axis since the x-coordinate is 2. Place a small dot at this location. This will be the x-coordinate of the point (2, 6).

4. Then, move 6 units up on the y-axis since the y-coordinate is 6. Place another small dot at this location. This will be the y-coordinate of the point (2, 6).

5. Connect the two dots with a straight line. The line should pass through both dots and extend beyond them. This line represents the graph of the ordered pair (2, 6) on the coordinate plane.

6. Finally, label the graph with the coordinate (2, 6) to indicate the point where the line intersects the graph.

By following these steps, you can accurately graph the ordered pair (2, 6) on a coordinate plane.
