Chris needs help plotting the point (4.5, 5). If he starts at the origin, what should be his first step?
A first quadrant coordinate plane. The x axis and y axis go from 0 to 10 in intervals of one.
Chris's first step should be to move right along the x-axis until he reaches the x-coordinate of 4.5

Chris's first step should be to move right along the x-axis until he reaches the x-coordinate of 4.5.
To plot the point (4.5, 5) on a first quadrant coordinate plane, Chris should follow these steps:
1. Start at the origin (the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect at coordinates (0, 0)).
2. Move horizontally to the right by 4.5 units along the x-axis. This means Chris should count 4.5 intervals to the right.
3. Move vertically upwards by 5 units along the y-axis. This means Chris should count 5 intervals upwards.
After taking these steps, Chris will arrive at the point (4.5, 5), which represents the coordinates (4.5 units to the right, 5 units upwards) on the coordinate plane.
