Coordinate Plane And Quadrants Worksheet - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

---

Part 1: Write the ordered pair for each point on the coordinate plane.

We read coordinates as (x, y) — x is horizontal (left/right), y is vertical (up/down).

- Point A: Go right 3, up 3 → (3, 3)
- Point B: Go left 2, down 5 → (-2, -5)
- Point C: Go right 1, down 4 → (1, -4)
- Point D: Go right 1, up 5 → (1, 5)
- Point E: Go left 2, on the x-axis → (-2, 0)
- Point F: Go right 5, down 1 → (5, -1)
- Point G: Go left 2, up 4 → (-2, 4)
- Point H: Go left 4, up 2 → (-4, 2)

✔ Double-checking:
- A: x=3, y=3 → correct
- B: x=-2, y=-5 → correct
- C: x=1, y=-4 → correct
- D: x=1, y=5 → correct
- E: x=-2, y=0 → correct
- F: x=5, y=-1 → correct
- G: x=-2, y=4 → correct
- H: x=-4, y=2 → correct

Part 2: Plot and label the following points
*(You would do this on paper — we’ll just list them so you know where they go)*

- Q(4,1): Right 4, Up 1
- R(3,-3): Right 3, Down 3
- S(-5,-2): Left 5, Down 2
- T(0,3): On y-axis, Up 3
- U(-3,5): Left 3, Up 5
- V(2,0): On x-axis, Right 2
- W(-1,-4): Left 1, Down 4
- X(4,-6): Right 4, Down 6

*(No final answer needed here since it’s plotting — but we’ll use these in next part.)*

Part 3: Write the quadrant that each point is found in.

Quadrants are numbered counter-clockwise starting from top-right:

- Quadrant I: (+, +)
- Quadrant II: (-, +)
- Quadrant III: (-, -)
- Quadrant IV: (+, -)

Points on axes are NOT in any quadrant.

Now check each:

- H(-4, 2) → x negative, y positive → Quadrant II
- D(1, 5) → both positive → Quadrant I
- B(-2, -5) → both negative → Quadrant III
- S(-5, -2) → both negative → Quadrant III
- F(5, -1) → x positive, y negative → Quadrant IV
- Q(4, 1) → both positive → Quadrant I
- C(1, -4) → x positive, y negative → Quadrant IV
- U(-3, 5) → x negative, y positive → Quadrant II

✔ All checked.

Challenge!

Plot Y(-3.5, -1.5)

→ Go left 3.5 (halfway between -3 and -4), down 1.5 (halfway between -1 and -2)

Both x and y are negative → Quadrant III

Final Answer:

Ordered Pairs:

A (3, 3)
B (-2, -5)
C (1, -4)
D (1, 5)
E (-2, 0)
F (5, -1)
G (-2, 4)
H (-4, 2)

Quadrants:

H → Quadrant II
D → Quadrant I
B → Quadrant III
S → Quadrant III
F → Quadrant IV
Q → Quadrant I
C → Quadrant IV
U → Quadrant II

Challenge:

Point Y(-3.5, -1.5) is in → Quadrant III
