How to find the points on a coordinate plane - ISEE Lower Level Quantitative Reasoning

Although coordinate point has the largest value in comparison to the other answer choices--it is the closest point to the -axis becaues of the points value.

Compare the absolute value of each of the coordinate points values. Since, the absolute value of point is the lowest, the point has the shortest distance to the -axis.

Since the -axis runs vertically, the point that has the coordinate with the lowest absolute value will be closest to the -axis. Therefore, coordinate point has the shortest distance to the -axis, because the point is only a distance of away from the -axis. Every other coordinate point has an absolute distance of or more.

Compare the absolute value of each of the coordinate points values. Since, the value of point has the greatest absolute value, this point has the farthest distance to the horizontal -axis.

Since the -axis runs vertically, the point that has the coordinate with the greatest absolute value will be farthest from the -axis. Therefore, coordinate point has the longest distance to the -axis, because the point is a distance of away from the -axis. Every other coordinate point has an absolute distance of or less.

To find the equation of the line that passes through coordinate point , plug the and values into each equation. The correct equation will end with a true statement.

The solution is:

To find the location on a coordinate plane we first look at the -axis, which runs horizontal and then the -axis, which runs vertical. We write the point on the -axis first, followed by the point on the -axis.
