Question

plot the following points on the coordinate plane.
$left(-\frac{3}{2},\frac{3}{4}
ight)$
$left(-\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2}
ight)$
$left(-\frac{1}{2},\frac{7}{4}
ight)$
$left(-\frac{5}{4},\frac{1}{4}
ight)$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate - plane rules

In a coordinate plane, for a point $(x,y)$, $x$ is the horizontal (abscissa) and $y$ is the vertical (ordinate) value.

Step2: Plot $(-\frac{3}{2},\frac{3}{4})$

Move $\frac{3}{2}=1.5$ units to the left of the origin (since $x =-\frac{3}{2}$) and $\frac{3}{4} = 0.75$ units up (since $y=\frac{3}{4}$) and mark the point.

Step3: Plot $(-\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{2})$

Move $\frac{1}{4}=0.25$ units to the left of the origin (because $x =-\frac{1}{4}$) and $\frac{1}{2}=0.5$ units up (because $y = \frac{1}{2}$) and mark the point.

Step4: Plot $(-\frac{1}{2},\frac{7}{4})$

Move $\frac{1}{2}=0.5$ units to the left of the origin (as $x=-\frac{1}{2}$) and $\frac{7}{4}=1.75$ units up (as $y=\frac{7}{4}$) and mark the point.

Step5: Plot $(-\frac{5}{4},\frac{1}{4})$

Move $\frac{5}{4}=1.25$ units to the left of the origin (since $x =-\frac{5}{4}$) and $\frac{1}{4}=0.25$ units up (since $y=\frac{1}{4}$) and mark the point.

Answer:

Points are plotted as described above on the coordinate - plane.
