Create Your Own Constellation
1. Create a picture on a coordinate plane that represents something about you. You
must draw all four quadrants and use at least three of them.
2. Choose at least ten dominant points. You are required to use a combination of
different types of lines – horizontal, vertical, positive sloping, and negative
sloping.
3. Connect those points with straight lines appropriately to create a constellation.
Label each point with a capital letter – A, B, C, etc.
4. Write the equation for each line, at least ten equations – use the attached
worksheet. Once you find each equation, write the equation on your picture, along
the appropriate line.
5. Write a paragraph (at least five sentences) that explains the constellation and your
story behind it.
6. This project is worth 50 points! You will be graded on the following:
