Pre-Algebra Examples

$\begin{array}{c} x & y \\ - 3 & 1 \\ - 2 & 2 \\ - 1 & 4 \\ 0 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 0.5 \\ 3 & 0.25 \end{array}$

Step 1

To plot $(- 3, 1)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move left $3$ units and up $1$ unit.

$(- 3, 1)$

Step 2

To plot $(- 2, 2)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move left $2$ units and up $2$ units.

$(- 2, 2)$

Step 3

To plot $(- 1, 4)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move left $1$ units and up $4$ units.

$(- 1, 4)$

Step 4

To plot $(0, 2)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move right $0$ units and up $2$ units.

$(0, 2)$

Step 5

To plot $(1, 1)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move right $1$ unit and up $1$ unit.

$(1, 1)$

Step 6

To plot $(2, 0.5)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move right $2$ units and up $0.5$ units.

$(2, 0.5)$

Step 7

To plot $(3, 0.25)$ , start at the origin $(0, 0)$ and move right $3$ units and up $0.25$ units.

$(3, 0.25)$

Step 8

List the points below:

$(- 3, 1), (- 2, 2), (- 1, 4), (0, 2), (1, 1), (2, 0.5), (3, 0.25)$
