How to Plot Points on a Coordinate Plane

Each point is written as (x, y), where:
- x is the horizontal coordinate (left/right)
- y is the vertical coordinate (up/down)

To plot a point:
1. Start at the origin (0, 0).
2. Move x units left (if negative) or right (if positive) along the x-axis.
3. Then move y units down (if negative) or up (if positive) along the y-axis.
4. Mark the point.

Step-by-Step Plotting Guide

We'll go through each point and describe how to locate it.

#### a) A(-7, -4)
- Move 7 units left from origin.
- Then 4 units down.
- Located in Quadrant III.

#### b) B(-10, -9)
- Move 10 units left.
- Then 9 units down.
- Also in Quadrant III.

#### c) P(-3, 7)
- Move 3 units left.
- Then 7 units up.
- In Quadrant II.

#### d) Z(9, -5)
- Move 9 units right.
- Then 5 units down.
- In Quadrant IV.

#### e) X(6, 8)
- Move 6 units right.
- Then 8 units up.
- In Quadrant I.

#### f) R(-9, -6)
- Move 9 units left.
- Then 6 units down.
- In Quadrant III.

#### g) Q(-4, -4)
- Move 4 units left.
- Then 4 units down.
- In Quadrant III.

#### h) Y(5, -8)
- Move 5 units right.
- Then 8 units down.
- In Quadrant IV.

#### i) W(4, 10)
- Move 4 units right.
- Then 10 units up.
- In Quadrant I.

#### j) K(7, 4)
- Move 7 units right.
- Then 4 units up.
- In Quadrant I.

#### k) D(3, 2)
- Move 3 units right.
- Then 2 units up.
- In Quadrant I.

#### l) J(0, -3)
- x = 0 → stay on the y-axis.
- Move 3 units down.
- Lies on the negative y-axis.

Final Answer:

You should now plot all these points on the coordinate grid provided.

Here’s a quick summary of where each point goes:

| Point | Coordinates | Quadrant / Axis |
|-------|-------------|------------------|
| A | (-7, -4) | III |
| B | (-10, -9) | III |
| P | (-3, 7) | II |
| Z | (9, -5) | IV |
| X | (6, 8) | I |
| R | (-9, -6) | III |
| Q | (-4, -4) | III |
| Y | (5, -8) | IV |
| W | (4, 10) | I |
| K | (7, 4) | I |
| D | (3, 2) | I |
| J | (0, -3) | On y-axis (negative) |

✔ How to Complete the Worksheet:

1. Use a pencil to mark each point accurately on the grid.
2. Label each point with its letter (A, B, etc.) near the dot.
3. Double-check your placement using the x and y values.

> 🔍 Tip: Always go horizontal first (x), then vertical (y).

Since this is a visual task, you’ll need to manually plot the points on the graph paper. But now you know exactly where each one goes!
