Grade 7 Coordinate Pairs Worksheet

Coordinate Pairs Practice

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

1. The horizontal axis on a coordinate plane is called the  -axis.

2. The vertical axis on a coordinate plane is called the  -axis.

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

4. In the coordinate pair (3, -5), the x-coordinate is   and the y-coordinate is  .

5. Which quadrant contains points with a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate?

6. In which quadrant would you find the point (-2, -7)?

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

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

8. What are the coordinates of the point (5, -2) after it is reflected across the x-axis?

9. What are the coordinates of the point (-3, -6) after it is reflected across the y-axis?

10. The origin has the coordinates (0, 0).

11. The point (4, 0) lies on the y-axis.
