Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a coordinate plane with items placed at different points. We need to:
Part A: Write the ordered pair (x, y) for each item shown.
Part B: Draw (or name) the item located at each given ordered pair.
---
Part A: Find coordinates of each item
Remember: In an ordered pair (x, y),
x is how far left/right from the center (0,0), and
y is how far up/down.
Look at each item:
1) 🍎 Apple
→ It’s at x = -2, y = -3 → So,
(-2, -3)
2) 🌳 Tree
→ It’s at x = 4, y = -4 → So,
(4, -4)
3) 🦋 Butterfly
→ It’s at x = 9, y = -7 → So,
(9, -7)
4) 🍍 Pineapple
→ It’s at x = -6, y = 4 → So,
(-6, 4)
5) 🍓 Strawberry
→ It’s at x = 8, y = 6 → So,
(8, 6)
✔ Double-checking:
- Apple: Left 2, down 3 → (-2, -3) ✔️
- Tree: Right 4, down 4 → (4, -4) ✔️
- Butterfly: Right 9, down 7 → (9, -7) ✔️
- Pineapple: Left 6, up 4 → (-6, 4) ✔️
- Strawberry: Right 8, up 6 → (8, 6) ✔️

Part B: Identify item at each given point
Now we go to the graph and see what’s at each coordinate.
1) (3, 4)
→ Go right 3, up 4 → That’s the
popsicle 🍦
2) (8, 2)
→ Go right 8, up 2 → That’s the
sunflower 🌻
3) (-7, 8)
→ Go left 7, up 8 → That’s the
leaf 🍃
4) (-5, -7)
→ Go left 5, down 7 → That’s the
lime 🍈 (green citrus fruit)
5) (-2, 2)
→ Go left 2, up 2 → That’s the
sun ☀️
✔ Double-checking:
- (3,4): Popsicle — yes, matches graph ✔️
- (8,2): Sunflower — yes ✔️
- (-7,8): Leaf — yes ✔️
- (-5,-7): Lime — yes ✔️
- (-2,2): Sun — yes ✔️

A)
1) (-2, -3)
2) (4, -4)
3) (9, -7)
4) (-6, 4)
5) (8, 6)
B)
1) popsicle
2) sunflower
3) leaf
4) lime
