Describe the correct process of graphing Point A on the graph.

• You start at 0 on the Y axis, crawl 1 unit and climb on the X axis 5 units

• Starting at the origin you move 1 unit right on the X axis and up 5 units on the y axis

• Start at (5,5) and move four spaces to the left

• Start at the origin move 5 units up on the Y axis and over 1 unit on the X axis.

A student will graph the point (5, 3) on a coordinate grid. Which steps can the student take in order to graph the point correctly?

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units up. Move 3 units right. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units right. Move 3 units right. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units up. Move 3 units up. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units right. Move 3 units up. Graph the point.

If you were to plot the point (4, -12) what would be the correct method?
