How do you plot the point Q(-9,0)?

Answer 1

Abigail Allen

See a solution process below:

First, start at the origin or #(0, 0)#

Then move 9 units left of the x-axis to account for the #x# value in the point.

Because the #y# value in the point is #0# we do not need to move up or down the y-axis

To plot the point Q(-9,0), you would move horizontally to the left (-9 units) from the origin (0,0) on the x-axis, and vertically stay at the same level (0 units) on the y-axis. This places the point Q at (-9,0) on the coordinate plane.

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.
