Question

How do you graph a decimal A(3.5,4) on a coordinate graph?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Points on the coordinate plane are notated as `(x, y)` where

`x` is the position on the `x`-axis or horizontal axis

`y` is the position on the `y`-axis or vertical axis

First, because the `x` value for point A is 3.5 and is positive, we go 3.5 units to the right on the `x` or horizontal axis starting at the origin:

Next, because the `y` value for point A is 4 and is positive, we go 4 units up on the `y` or vertical axis:
