 How To: Graph Points on the Coordinate Plane and Make Input Output Charts BY: Steven Mar

media type="custom" key="8795592" **Step 1:** To make coordinate planes you have the x-axis and the y-axis.

**Step 2:**The x-axis goes horizontal and the y-axis goes vertical and it looks like a plus sign.

**Step 3:**The x-axis that crosses to the right is positive and increases from 1 through 10 and the y-axis that goes up increases from 1 to 10.

**Step 4:** On the left side it decreases from -1 to -10 and so does the y-axis that goes down -1 to -10.

**Step 5:** Once you have your coordinate plane set up, now you make an input output chart.

**Step 6:**To make a input output chart you have to label x-axis for input and y-axis for output and the the x-axis is -2,-1,0,1,2 and then you need an equation.

**Step 7:** Once you have your equation you graph -2 and your output number you start graphing all your numbers then when you're done you connect the dots.
