Grade 8 Coordinate Grid Practice

Grade 8 Coordinate Grid Practice

Follow the instructions for each section. Show all your work where applicable.

Plot the following points on the coordinate grid below:

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

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

2. A point with coordinates (x, y) where x > 0 and y < 0 is in which quadrant?

1. Calculate the distance between the points (1, 2) and (4, 6). Show your work.

2. Find the distance between the points (-3, 0) and (2, -12). Show your work.

1. The midpoint of a segment with endpoints (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by the formula: ( ,  ).

2. Find the midpoint of the segment connecting (5, -1) and (3, 7). The midpoint is ( ,  ).

3. If the midpoint of a segment is (2, 3) and one endpoint is (-1, 5), the other endpoint is ( ,  ).

1. The x-axis is a horizontal line.

2. The origin on a coordinate grid is (0, 0).
