1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,820 2 00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:04,170 Plot 4 comma negative 1, and select 3 00:00:04,170 --> 00:00:07,140 the quadrant in which the point lies. 4 00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:09,700 So 4, the first number in our ordered 5 00:00:09,700 --> 00:00:11,130 pair, that's our x-coordinate. 6 00:00:11,130 --> 00:00:14,890 That says how far to move in the horizontal or the x-direction. 7 00:00:14,890 --> 00:00:16,260 It's a positive 4. 8 00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:18,440 So I'm going to go 4 to the right. 9 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,030 And then the second coordinate says, 10 00:00:20,030 --> 00:00:21,654 what do we do in the vertical direction 11 00:00:21,654 --> 00:00:23,110 or in the y-direction? 12 00:00:23,110 --> 00:00:24,600 It's a negative 1. 13 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,480 Since it's negative, we're going to go down. 14 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,280 And it's a negative 1, so we're going to go down 1. 15 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,640 So that right over there is the point 4 comma negative 1. 16 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,260 So I've plotted it, but now I have 17 00:00:34,260 --> 00:00:36,860 to select which quadrant the point lies in. 18 00:00:36,860 --> 00:00:38,810 And this is just a naming convention. 19 00:00:38,810 --> 00:00:40,410 This is the first quadrant. 20 00:00:40,410 --> 00:00:41,940 This is the second quadrant. 21 00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:43,400 This is the third quadrant. 22 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,330 And this is the fourth quadrant. 23 00:00:45,330 --> 00:00:49,560 So the point lies in the fourth quadrant, quadrant IV. 24 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,560 And I guess you have to know your Roman numerals 25 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,280 a little bit to know that's representing quadrant IV. 26 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,930 Let's do a couple more of these. 27 00:00:58,930 --> 00:01:01,200 Plot 8 comma negative 4, and select 28 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,490 the quadrant in which the point lies. 29 00:01:03,490 --> 00:01:07,690 Well, my x-coordinate is 8 so I go 8 30 00:01:07,690 --> 00:01:09,690 in the positive x-direction. 31 00:01:09,690 --> 00:01:14,450 And then my y-coordinate is negative 4, so I go 4 down. 32 00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:17,740 And this is sitting, again, in not the first, 33 00:01:17,740 --> 00:01:20,740 not the second, not the third, but the fourth quadrant, 34 00:01:20,740 --> 00:01:22,626 in quadrant IV. 35 00:01:22,626 --> 00:01:23,750 Let's do one more of these. 36 00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,470 Hopefully we get a different quadrant. 37 00:01:25,470 --> 00:01:28,550 So we want to plot the point negative 5 comma 5. 38 00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:30,530 So now my x-coordinate is negative. 39 00:01:30,530 --> 00:01:31,650 It's negative 5. 40 00:01:31,650 --> 00:01:34,660 So I'm going to move to the left in the x-direction. 41 00:01:34,660 --> 00:01:36,290 So I go to negative 5. 42 00:01:36,290 --> 00:01:39,760 And my y-coordinate is positive so I go up 43 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,180 5, so negative 5 comma 5. 44 00:01:44,180 --> 00:01:46,170 And this is sitting not in the first quadrant, 45 00:01:46,170 --> 00:01:47,380 but the second quadrant. 46 00:01:47,380 --> 00:01:49,380 And of course, this is the third and the fourth. 47 00:01:49,380 --> 00:01:52,190 So this is sitting in the second quadrant. 48 00:01:52,190 --> 00:01:55,460 Check answer, and we got it right.
