Coordinate Plane Plotting Practice

Coordinate Plane Plotting Practice

Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Show all your work when necessary.

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)

Part 2: Identifying Coordinates

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

1. Point P:  

2. Point Q:  

3. Point R:  

4. Point S:  

Part 3: Quadrants and Axes

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

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

Part 4: Fill in the Blanks

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  .

Part 5: Challenge Question

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