Part 1: Plotting Points

Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below and label each point with its corresponding letter.

A (3, 5) B (-2, 4) C (1, -6) D (-5, -3) E (0, 7) F (-4, 0)

Identify the coordinates of the points plotted on the graph below.

1. Point P:

2. Point Q:

3. Point R:

4. Point S:

1. In which quadrant would the point (-8, 2) be located?

Quadrant I

Quadrant II

Quadrant III

Quadrant IV

2. A point located on the y-axis has an x-coordinate of:

Any positive number

Any negative number

Zero

Undefined

1. The horizontal axis is called the .

2. The vertical axis is called the .

3. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the .

4. A coordinate pair is written as ( , ), where the first number represents the and the second number represents the .

Plot the points A(2, 3) and B(2, -4). What is the distance between these two points?
