Question

1. plot the following points on the coordinate plane below: 1) p(5, 5) 2) q(-1, 5) 3) s(0, 0) 4) t(-3, -4) 5) u(0, 6) 6) v(1.5, 4) 7) w(3, -2.5) 8) r(-3, 0) 9) z(6, -6) 10) n(-3, 6)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall coordinate - plane plotting rules

In a coordinate plane, for a point $(x,y)$, $x$ is the horizontal (abscissa) and $y$ is the vertical (ordinate) distance from the origin $(0,0)$. Positive $x$ values are to the right of the origin, negative $x$ values are to the left. Positive $y$ values are above the origin, negative $y$ values are below.

Step2: Plot point P(5,5)

Move 5 units to the right along the x - axis and 5 units up along the y - axis and mark the point.

Step3: Plot point Q(-1,5)

Move 1 unit to the left along the x - axis and 5 units up along the y - axis and mark the point.

Step4: Plot point S(0,0)

The point is at the origin.

Step5: Plot point T(-3,-4)

Move 3 units to the left along the x - axis and 4 units down along the y - axis and mark the point.

Step6: Plot point U(0,6)

Since $x = 0$, the point lies on the y - axis. Move 6 units up from the origin and mark the point.

Step7: Plot point V(1.5,4)

Move 1.5 units to the right along the x - axis and 4 units up along the y - axis and mark the point.

Step8: Plot point W(3,-2.5)

Move 3 units to the right along the x - axis and 2.5 units down along the y - axis and mark the point.

Step9: Plot point R(-3,0)

Move 3 units to the left along the x - axis. Since $y = 0$, the point lies on the x - axis. Mark the point.

Step10: Plot point Z(6,-6)

Move 6 units to the right along the x - axis and 6 units down along the y - axis and mark the point.

Step11: Plot point N(-3,6)

Move 3 units to the left along the x - axis and 6 units up along the y - axis and mark the point.

Answer:

The points are plotted on the given coordinate - plane according to the above steps.
