Question

Missy plots the ordered pairs $A(0,5),B(3,6),C(3,0)$, and $D(6,3)$ on the graph as shown below.


Identify the point that she plots incorrectly.

• A. $B$
• B. $C$
• C. $D$
• D. $A$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $C$

$\underset{–}{\text{To plot}A=(0,5)}:$
Value on the $X$-axis = 0
Value on the $Y$-axis = 5

$\underset{–}{\text{To plot}B=(3,6)}:$
Value on the $X$-axis = 3
Value on the $Y$-axis = 6

$\underset{–}{\text{To plot}C=(3,0)}:$
Value on the $X$-axis = 3
Value on the $Y$-axis = 0

$\underset{–}{\text{To plot}D=(6,3)}:$
Value on the $X$-axis = 3
Value on the $Y$-axis = 6

Plotting these on a graph, we get:


Comparing this graph with Missy's graph, we see that she plots the point $C$ incorrectly.
