Class 8 Maths – Chapter 15: Introduction to Graphs

Step 2: Plotting Points on a Graph

1️⃣ What is Plotting?

Plotting means marking a point on the graph using its coordinates.

2️⃣ Steps to Plot a Point (x, y)

  1. Draw the X-axis and Y-axis.
  2. Start from the Origin (0,0).
  3. Move x units right (if +) or left (if −).
  4. Then move y units up (if +) or down (if −).
  5. Mark the point with a dot.

3️⃣ Example

Plot the point (4, 3):

  • Move 4 units right from the origin.
  • Move 3 units upward.
  • Mark the point.

4️⃣ Negative Coordinates

  • (−3, 2) → left 3 units, up 2 units
  • (2, −4) → right 2 units, down 4 units

📌 Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do not move vertically first.
  • Do not mix x and y values.

Memory Trick: "Walk → Climb" (X first, then Y)
