PLOTTING POINTS ON A COORDINATE PLANE WORKSHEET

Question 1 :

Plot the point (-2, 2) on the coordinate plane.

Question 2 :

Plot the point (4, -2) on the coordinate plane.

Question 3 :

Plot the point (-3, -4) on the coordinate plane.

Question 4 :

Write the ordered pair that describes a point 12 units down from and 7 units to the right of the origin.

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.

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.

Question 7 :

Plot the point (0, -1) on the coordinate plane.

Question 8 :

Plot the point (5, 0) on the coordinate plane.

Detailed Answer Key

Question 1 :

Plot the point (-2, 2) on the coordinate plane.

Answer :

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.

Answer :

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.

Answer :

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.

Answer :

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.

Answer :

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.

Answer :

Question 7 :

Plot the point (0, -1) on the coordinate plane.

Answer :

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.

Answer :

In the given point, the x-coordinate value is 0. So, the required point must be located on y- axis.
