PLOTTING POINTS ON A COORDINATE PLANE WORKSHEET
About "Plotting points on a coordinate plane worksheet"
Plotting points on a coordinate plane worksheet :
Here we are going to see some practice questions on plotting the points on a coordinate plane.
Points to remember when plotting the given points in a coordinate plane :
- If the given point is in the form (+, +), then it will be located on the 1st quadrant
- If the given point is in the form (-, +), then it will be located on the 2nd quadrant
- If the given point is in the form (-, -), then it will be located on the 3rd quadrant
- If the given point is in the form (+, -), then it will be located on the 4th quadrant
- If the given point has the value 0 in x-coordinate, then it will be located on y-axis.
- If the given point has the value 0 in y-coordinate, then it will be located on x-axis.
Plotting points on a coordinate plane worksheet - Practice question
(1) Plot the point (-2, 2) on the coordinate plane.
(2) Plot the point (4, -2) on the coordinate plane.
(3) Plot the point (-3, -4) on the coordinate plane.
(4) Write the ordered pair that describes a point 12 units down from and 7 units to the right of the origin.
(5) Write the ordered pair for a point that is 9 units to the left of the origin and lies on the x-axis.
(6) The diagram at the right shows the positions of artifacts found on the ocean floor. Write the coordinates of the location for each object: coins, plate, goblet, and vase
(7) Plot the point (0, -1) on the coordinate plane.
(8) Plot the point (5, 0) on the coordinate plane.
Plotting points on a coordinate plane worksheet - Solution
Question 1 :
Plot the point (-2, 2) on the coordinate plane.
Solution :
The given point is in the form (-, +), so it will located on 2nd quadrant.
Question 2 :
Plot the point (4, -2) on the coordinate plane.
Solution :
The given point is in the form (+, -), so it will located on 4th quadrant.
Question 3 :
Plot the point (-3, -4) on the coordinate plane.
Solution :
The given point is in the form (-, -), so it will located on 3rd quadrant.
Question 4 :
Write the ordered pair that describes a point 12 units down from and 7 units to the right of the origin.
Solution :
To write the required ordered pair, let us read the question once again.
12 units down ==> -12
7 units right ==> + 7
Hence, the required point is (-12, 7)
Question 5 :
Write the ordered pair for a point that is 9 units to the left of the origin and lies on the x-axis.
Solution :
To write the required ordered pair, let us read the question once again.
9 units to the left of the origin ==> -9
It lies on the x-axis. So, the value of y coordinate will be 0.
Hence, the required point is (-9, 0)
Question 6 :
The diagram at the right shows the positions of artifacts found on the ocean floor. Write the coordinates of the location for each object: coins, plate, goblet, and vase.
Solution :
Question 7 :
Plot the point (0, -1) on the coordinate plane.
Solution :
In the given point, the x-coordinate value is 0. So, the required point must be located on y- axis.
Question 8 :
Plot the point (5, 0) on the coordinate plane.
Solution :
In the given point, the x-coordinate value is 0. So, the required point must be located on y- axis.
