The Number PlaneHow does it work?

Grid plane

Grid planes have a vertical axis and a horizontal axis. They can be used to help us find places on maps such as street directories.

The horizontal axis reference is always written first.

Ordered pairs can also have decimal values. Plot the points I, J and K on the number plane below:

Plot the points given by the coordinates below on the same number plane:

It is good practice to write the coordinates next to the points when plotting.

D (3 , 4) E (0 , 5) F (7 , 0) G (8 , 6) H (2 , 2)

Plotting points is done by placing a small dot where the x and y coordinate values cross each other.

A bus company charges per kilometre travelled. One passenger is charged $36 for travelling 24km.

Fees and charges

Fees charged by companies are often graphed on number planes to help you quickly read how much it would cost you for different situations.

The cost is usually dependent on how far you travel, how long you use the service etc. Therefore cost is always put on the vertical axis.

More axes and coordinates

We can extend the number plane to include all integers by introducing negative numbers.

The axes of a Cartesian number plane splits the grid into four sections called quadrants.

The quadrants are numbered as shown above. The coordinates in each quadrant have different combinations of positive and negative values.

Coordinate combinations

2nd quadrant: negative, positive (- , +) 1st quadrant: positive, positive (+ , +)

3rd quadrant: negative, negative (- , -) 4th quadrant: positive, negative (+ , -)

Points on the horizontal axis ( ) have a second coordinate value of 0 eg: (3 , 0).

Points on the vertical axis ( ) have a first coordinate value of 0 eg: (0 , 2).

“I live four vertical and four horizontal units away from here.”

Explain why these directions are not enough information.

From the skate park, there are four different coordinates that match. Jill’s instructions:

(-1 , 3), (7 , 3) , (-1 , -5) and (7 , -5).

Cheat Sheet The Number Plane

Here is a summary of the things you need to remember for the number plane

Grid plane

• Grid planes have a vertical axis (usually marked with numbers) and a horizontal axis (usually marked with letters).

• A letter paired with a number is used to locate a grid area on maps.

Axes and coordinates

• Number planes have two number lines as their axes.

• Coordinates help us locate points and are always written in curved brackets with a comma in between.(horizontal value , vertical value)

Horizontal value is always written first. E.g. (-2 , 3) means move two units horizontally to the left, then three units vertically up from the origin.

Dependent and independent variables

Input Independent variable Its value is given, so is independent of y

Output Dependent variable Its value depends on the value of x

Graphing tables of values• Coordinates can be formed by pairing dependent and independent variables from a table of values.• Plotting these points on a number plane will graph the rule used to complete the table of values.• When plotting graphs of fees for services, the cost is placed on the vertical axis.
