Math Problem Statement

Which point is named by the ordered pair (4,2)?

Solution

The question asks which point corresponds to the ordered pair (4,2)(4, 2).

Steps:

  1. Identify the coordinates:

    • The first number in the pair (4,2)(4, 2) represents the x-coordinate, which means you move 4 units to the right from the origin.
    • The second number represents the y-coordinate, meaning you move 2 units up from the x-axis.
  2. Locate the point:

    • Starting at the origin (0,0)(0, 0), move 4 units to the right along the x-axis.
    • Then, move 2 units up along the y-axis.
  3. Check the point on the graph:

    • This takes us to point E on the graph.

Thus, the point named by the ordered pair (4,2)(4, 2) is E.

Do you want any more details or have further questions?

Here are five related questions to explore:

  1. What is the ordered pair for point BB on the graph?
  2. How would you locate a point with negative coordinates on this graph?
  3. What is the relationship between the x-axis and y-axis on a coordinate plane?
  4. How can you determine if a point lies on the x-axis or y-axis?
  5. How would you graph the point (3,2)(3, -2) on the same coordinate plane?

Tip: Always start by moving along the x-axis first and then the y-axis when plotting points.
