Question

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

Answer 1

Given the points

`\begin{gathered} ((1)/(4),-2) \\ \text{and} \\ (-2,(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:} \\ (1)/(4)=0.25 \\ \text{and} \\ -2 \end{gathered}`

`\begin{gathered} y\text{ coordinates are:} \\ -2 \\ \text{and} \\ (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
