Bob bundy is right, also music is very distracting, turn the music down

hi steve b mandy here how are you? how do you think i am doing and do you think i should do a home maths course yet or nor?

I am fine thankyou. I think that you are doing well studying via the maths forum with the help of Chris and Bob, but remember that distance learning courses will charge for their service so I am tempted to say that you should not commit your self to any study you have to pay for because you have a tendency to start doing something and then stop abruptly and lose momentum and in any case the level you are studying at is, while good to see, a somewhat basic level and below the level of most maths courses.

One thing I must say that is positive is that you have learnt a skill that I can't do namely to add graphics to a post!
I suppose I could learn how to do it, but since you have been getting on so well I don't want to interfere with other maths teachers.

Re: Mandy Jane's Corner

How well do you think you are getting on with co-ordinates?
If you were given a set of co-ordinates to plot do you think you would do it correctly?
There was a link to a website http://www.mathplayground.com/locate_aliens.html
How did you get on with that?

Re: Mandy Jane's Corner

Ok I am improvising here:

Plot the following co-ordinates on some graph paper:
A (2,6)
B (3,4)
C (5,3)
D (6,2)
E (-3, -4)

Put the letter next to each point to show which is which, and please upload a snapshot of the graph paper that you use so that we can see if they are correct.

Mandy, can I assume by the fact that you have not done it that you are stuck on the exercise or are you just busy?

Re: Mandy Jane's Corner

First of all well done for getting the four that you have done correctly - they all look fine to me.

Now with the (-3,-4) one you might just about be able to squeeze it on to your graph paper if you
extend the axes the other way like this:

                       i
                       i
                       i    (The other four points are in this area)
                       i
       -----------0----------------
               -3     |
                       |
                       |
                x  -4|

You then need to go three spaces to the left of the point where the lines cross and four spaces
down. Remembering to make the spaces equal between each point on your axes.
Obviously my sketch above is only a rough guide in plain text - you will be able to do the
graph properly on your paper. I think that you just about have space to the left of your point
at which the axes cross (which is the bottom left on your graph point (0,0) ).

Re: Mandy Jane's Corner

Incidentally I have got a screen picture of the graph using GeoGebra so if you are really stuck I could email it to you
or even post it on here. However it would be better for you if you manage to plot the final point without that help.

Re: Mandy Jane's Corner

Hi Mandy. Glad to hear that you are feeling better. Yes I will be logging on at the weekend.
Looks like we need to teach you about negative numbers in co-ordinates and how to plot them.
Bye for now.
