1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:

+close

3. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
4. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
5. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

[hot reef]

both, drawing first

and then b

[robust creek]

if you have your point drawn, the other 2 points of the triangle will always be

1. the origin
2. the point on the x-axis below/above the point P

[hot reef]

can you draw it and show it, im mainly confused on how to draw it

[robust creek]

do you know how to plot a point

with coordinates (x,y)

[hot reef]

um not really

[robust creek]

ok

start at the origin

now, if x is positive, move x steps to the right

(units)

if x is negative, you want to move |x| steps to the left

then, starting from the point you're at now:
if y is positive, move y steps up
if y is negative, move |y| steps down
then, you will be at the point (x,y)
