Period ______Date ___________
Match the vocabulary term to the correct diagram.
_______ coordinate plane
A.
B.
C.
_______ coordinate point
_______ x–axis
_______ y–axis
_______ origin
2) LABEL the

D.
and
E.
( x , y)
y -axis. Then plot and label the points below.
A ( 2,5 )
I ( 6, − 2 )
B ( 7,1)
J ( −7, − 3)
C ( 5, − 8 )
K ( 0, − 5 )
D ( 3, 0 )
L ( −5, 4 )
E ( −2, − 3)
M ( −11, 0 )
F ( 6, − 6 )
N (13,9 )
G ( 0,8 )
O ( 0, 0 )
H ( −10,5 )
P ( −9, 2 )
Which of the points you plotted is
the origin? ____________________
3) Sort the points from problem 2 above by quadrant.
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
No Quadrant
4) Without plotting them first, sort the points below by quadrant.
( −14, − 8) ( 6, − 1) ( −5, 12 ) (17, 9 ) ( −10, 6 ) ( −3, 0 ) ( 2, 2 ) ( −1, − 1) ( 3, − 18) ( −4, 7 )
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
No Quadrant
5) Determine the coordinates for the points plotted in the coordinate plane below:
A: (

Many people who run a business plot points on a graph in order to have a diagram that
easily shows how their business has improved or declined over time. Provide another
example you know about – outside of math class – in which plotting points on a graph is
used.
