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

1. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below:

A = (3, 4) B = (-2, 1) C = (0, -5) D = (4, -3) E = (-1, -2)

2. Write the coordinates for each point plotted on the graph.

Point F: ( , )

Point G: ( , )

Point H: ( , )

Point I: ( , )

Point J: ( , )

3. In which quadrant would you find the point (-5, 2)?

Quadrant I

Quadrant II

Quadrant III

Quadrant IV

4. The x-coordinate tells you how far a point is from the origin horizontally.

True

False

5. The point (0, 0) is called the origin.

True

False

6. Plot the points (1,1), (1,5), (5,5), and (5,1) on the graph. Connect the points in order. What shape did you create?
