Question

How do you plot the point X(1,10) on a coordinate plane?

Answer 1

You use the point's `x` and `y`-coordinates to plot it.

Explanation:

The general form of a point `A` is given as

`color(blue)(A(x"-coordinate", y"-coordinate"))" "`, where

`x`-coordinate tells you what the point's coordinate is on the `x`-axis;
`y`-coordinate tells you what the point's coordinate is on the `y`-axis.

In your case, you know that point `"X"` is given to you as

`"X"(1, 10)`

This means that if you start from the origin of the coordonate axes, you need to go one unit on the `x`-axis to `x=1` and ten units on the `y`-axis to `y=10`.

Here's how your point would look

graph{(x-1)^2 + (y-10)^2 <= 1/50 [-8.06, 9.72, 3.91, 12.8]}

An alternative way of thinking about this is that your point is the intersection of the vertical line that goes through `x=1` and the horizontal line that goes through `y = 10`.
