Shapes on the Coordinate Plane

Shapes on the Coordinate Plane

Follow the instructions for each section. Read each question carefully and show your work where necessary.

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

A (3, 4)

B (-2, 1)

C (0, -3)

D (4, -2)

2. In which quadrant would the point (-5, -7) be located?

3. The horizontal axis on a coordinate plane is called the  .

4. The   is the point (0,0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

5. Plot the following vertices and connect them to form a rectangle. Then, identify the coordinates of the fourth vertex.

Vertices: (1, 2), (5, 2), (1, 5)

The fourth vertex is at  .

6. A point with coordinates (0, 5) lies on the y-axis.
