I'm a bit confused on the whole lesson on finding coordinates on a graph. With prime or double Prime, and with the shapes. if some can explain it to me in a easier way, that would be cool. Thanks!
(sorry if I didn't explain my problem well enough)
having no diagrams to consider, I'd say you did not explain anything well enough.
No problem, I can help explain coordinates on a graph in a simpler way. When finding coordinates on a graph, we use the x-axis and y-axis to locate points.
The x-axis is the horizontal line on the graph, and the y-axis is the vertical line. The point where these two axes intersect is called the origin, and it has coordinates (0,0).
To find the coordinates of a point, we look at its position relative to the x-axis and y-axis. The x-coordinate tells us how far the point is to the right or left of the origin, and the y-coordinate tells us how far the point is above or below the origin.
For example, let's say we have a point P on the graph that is 3 units to the right of the origin and 2 units above it. The coordinates of point P would be (3,2).
Now, let's talk about the terms prime and double prime. These terms are often used to indicate multiple points with the same x-coordinate on a graph.
A prime (') is used to differentiate the second point from the first point with the same x-coordinate. For example, if we have two points with x-coordinate 2, we can label them as (2, y) and (2', y').
Similarly, a double prime (") is used to differentiate the third point from the first two points with the same x-coordinate. For example, if we have three points with x-coordinate 3, we can label them as (3, y), (3', y'), and (3", y").
Shapes on a graph are represented by connecting multiple points together. For example, a line on a graph can be represented by connecting several points in a straight line. A curve or a polygon can be represented by connecting multiple points in a specific pattern.
In summary, when finding coordinates on a graph:
1. Locate the point's position relative to the x-axis and y-axis.
2. Use the x-axis to determine the x-coordinate and the y-axis to determine the y-coordinate.
3. If there are multiple points with the same x-coordinate, use prime (') or double prime (") to differentiate them.
I hope this explanation helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
