Instructions

Welcome, future mathematician! This worksheet will test your skills with the coordinate grid. Remember, coordinates are always written as (x, y). The x-coordinate tells you how far to move left or right, and the y-coordinate tells you how far to move up or down.

Part 1: Reading Coordinates & Key Concepts (Objective)

Use the grid below to answer questions 1-8. For questions 9-20, use your knowledge of coordinate planes.

Part 2: Plotting Points (Subjective)

Use the blank grid below to complete the following tasks. Draw and label each point carefully.

+Y ^ | 5 + . . . . .|. . . . . 4 + . . . . .|. . . . . 3 + . . . . .|. . . . . 2 + . . . . .|. . . . . 1 + . . . . .|. . . . . <-----+----------+-----------> +X -5 -4 -3 -2 -1| 1 2 3 4 5 -1 + . . . . .|. . . . . -2 + . . . . .|. . . . . -3 + . . . . .|. . . . . -4 + . . . . .|. . . . . -5 + . . . . .|. . . . . | v -Y

  1. Plot and label point P at (4, 3).
  2. Plot and label point Q at (-2, 5).
  3. Plot and label point R at (-3, -3).
  4. Plot and label point S at (1, -4).
  5. Plot and label point T at (0, -2).
  6. Plot points F(-5, 1), G(-1, 1), and H(-1, -2).

  8. What type of angle is formed at vertex G? (Right, Acute, or Obtuse?)
  9. Plot points J(2, 2), K(5, 4), and L(5, 0). Connect them to form a triangle.
  10. Imagine you need to add a point M to create a rectangle with points J, K, and L. What would be the coordinates of point M?

Part 2: Plotting Points

Your grid for questions 1-10 should look like this:

+Y ^ | 5 + . Q . . .|. . . . . 4 + . . . . .|. . . K . 3 + . . . . .|. . . P . 2 + . . . . .|. J . . . 1 + F---G . .|. . . . . <-----+-----|----+-----------> +X -5 -4 -3 -2 -1| 1 2 3 4 5 -1 + . . R . .|. . . . . -2 + . . . T H|. . . L . -3 + . . . . .|. . . . . -4 + . . . . .|. S . . . -5 + . . . . .|. . . . . | v -Y
  1. Point P is at (4, 3).
  2. Point Q is at (-2, 5).
  3. Point R is at (-3, -3).
