How do you graph the set of ordered pairs {(-1,5), (2,-3), (4,0)]?

Answer 1

Starting from the origin put a point:

To the left 1 and up 5
To the right 2 and down 3
To right 4 and up/down 0.

To graph the set of ordered pairs {(-1,5), (2,-3), (4,0)}, plot each point on a coordinate plane using its x and y coordinates. For example, plot (-1,5) by moving one unit to the left on the x-axis and five units up on the y-axis. Repeat this process for each ordered pair. After plotting all the points, connect them with straight lines to create the graph.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
