Geometry: Graphing Points on the Coordinate Plane

Scan for answers

Examine the coordinate grid below. Identify the coordinates or plotted points.

1.Look at the coordinate grid below. What are the coordinates of point A?

B. (4, 2)

Starting at the origin (0,0), move 4 units right along the x-axis, then 2 units up along the y-axis. Point A is at (4, 2).

2.Look at the coordinate grid below. What are the coordinates of point B?

A. (1, 5)

Move 1 unit right on the x-axis and 5 units up on the y-axis. Point B is at (1, 5).

Teaching guide, sample answers and curriculum references

Before you begin

Read horizontal and vertical axes and locate the origin.

How to use this worksheet

Model the target skill: understand that the first number in an ordered pair (x) indicates horizontal distance from origin, and the second (y) indicates vertical distance. Use the first task as a guided example before asking for an independent response.
Check readiness first: Read horizontal and vertical axes and locate the origin.
Discuss an incorrect response using this distinction: Read x before y; reversing the coordinates changes the point unless the two values are equal.

A common mistake to discuss

Read x before y; reversing the coordinates changes the point unless the two values are equal.

What to practice next

Plot a reversed ordered pair and compare its position with the original point.

Sample question and answer

Look at the coordinate grid below. What are the coordinates of point A?

A. (2, 4)
B. (4, 2)
C. (4, 6)
D. (6, 2)

Answer: B. Starting at the origin (0,0), move 4 units right along the x-axis, then 2 units up along the y-axis. Point A is at (4, 2).
