Question

graph the point (1, 9) on the coordinate plane.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify x-coordinate

The x - coordinate of the point \((1,9)\) is \(1\). So, we move \(1\) unit to the right from the origin \((0,0)\) along the x - axis.

Step2: Identify y-coordinate

The y - coordinate of the point \((1,9)\) is \(9\). From the position on the x - axis (at \(x = 1\)), we move \(9\) units up along the vertical line \(x=1\) to reach the point \((1,9)\).

To graph the point \((1,9)\):

1. Locate \(x = 1\) on the x - axis (1 unit to the right of the origin).
2. From that x - value, move up 9 units (since the y - coordinate is 9) in the positive y - direction. The intersection of the vertical line through \(x = 1\) and the horizontal line through \(y=9\) is the point \((1,9)\).

Answer:

The point \((1,9)\) is graphed by moving 1 unit right on the x - axis and 9 units up from the origin, at the intersection of \(x = 1\) and \(y=9\) on the coordinate plane.
