Math Problem Statement
Which point is named by the ordered pair (4,2)?
Solution
The question asks which point corresponds to the ordered pair .
Steps:
-
Identify the coordinates:
- The first number in the pair 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.
-
Locate the point:
- Starting at the origin , move 4 units to the right along the x-axis.
- Then, move 2 units up along the y-axis.
-
Check the point on the graph:
- This takes us to point E on the graph.
Thus, the point named by the ordered pair is E.

Here are five related questions to explore:
- What is the ordered pair for point on the graph?
- How would you locate a point with negative coordinates on this graph?
- What is the relationship between the x-axis and y-axis on a coordinate plane?
- How can you determine if a point lies on the x-axis or y-axis?
- How would you graph the point on the same coordinate plane?
Tip: Always start by moving along the x-axis first and then the y-axis when plotting points.
