Irvin wrote the ordered pair (4,3) for the location of point in the coordinate plane at the right. Explain why Irvin's ordered pair is incorrect for point J.

Answer 1

Irvin's ordered pair is indeed incorrect. (4, 3) is plotted by going OVER 4 on the X AXIS and up 3 on the Y AXIS. The reason why the ordered pair is incorrect is because you are suppose to go over 4 and up 3.
