Question

How do I graph (1/4, -2) and (-2,5/2)

Answer 1

Given the points

$\begin{gathered} (\frac{1}{4},-2) \\ \text{and} \\ (-2,\frac{5}{2}) \end{gathered}$

To graph the coordinates, we can follow the steps below

Step 1: Choose a suitable scale for both x and y-axis

we can use a scale of 1 cm to represent 1 unit on both axes

Step 2: Identify the x and y coordinates of the points given

$\begin{gathered} x\text{ coordinates are:} \\ \frac{1}{4}=0.25 \\ \text{and} \\ -2 \end{gathered}$

$\begin{gathered} y\text{ coordinates are:} \\ -2 \\ \text{and} \\ \frac{5}{2}=2.5 \end{gathered}$

Step 3: Locate the points on the graph.

The values and points can be seen in the graph below
