Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to graph ordered pairs and identify their properties on the coordinate plane.

1. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below and label them A, B, C, and D.

A: (3, 5)

B: (-2, 4)

C: (1, -3)

D: (-4, -1)

2. In which quadrant is the point (-5, 2) located?

Quadrant I

Quadrant II

Quadrant III

Quadrant IV

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

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

5. Describe the steps you would take to plot the point (-3, -5) on a coordinate plane.

6. The ordered pair (0, 7) lies on the x-axis.

True

False

7. Plot the points E(2, 2), F(-2, 2), G(-2, -2), and H(2, -2) on the coordinate plane. What shape is formed when you connect these points in order?

The shape formed is a .
