Coordinate Plane Plotting Practice

Coordinate Plane Plotting Practice

Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to plot points or identify coordinates on the coordinate plane.

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

A (3, 4)

B (-2, 5)

C (0, -3)

D (4, -1)

E (-5, 0)

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

Point F: ( )

Point G: ( )

Point H: ( )

Point I: ( )

Point J: ( )

3. In which quadrant would the point (-6, 2) be located?

4. The horizontal axis on the coordinate plane is called the  -axis.

5. The vertical axis on the coordinate plane is called the  -axis.

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

7. Describe how you would plot the point (5, -3) on a coordinate plane.
