##
Problem 1: Write the letter corresponding to each coordinate point
We are given coordinates and must find which letter (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, M, P, Q, R, S) is at that point on the grid.
Recall: In an ordered pair `(x, y)`, `x` is horizontal (left/right), `y` is vertical (up/down).
Let’s locate each point:
a) (-1, 1)
→ Move left 1 on x-axis, up 1 on y-axis → This is point
Q
b) (7, -2)
→ Right 7, down 2 → This is point
M
c) (-4, 4)
→ Left 4, up 4 → This is point
B
d) (5, 4)
→ Right 5, up 4 → This is point
D
e) (3, 5)
→ Right 3, up 5 → This is point
R
f) (-4, 1)
→ Left 4, up 1 → This is point
P
g) (-5, -5)
→ Left 5, down 5 → This is point
E
h) (6, 1)
→ Right 6, up 1 → This is point
G
i) (-2, -1)
→ Left 2, down 1 → This is point
A
j) (2, 0)
→ Right 2, on the x-axis → This is point
S

Problem 2: Write the ordered pair corresponding to each letter
Now we’re given letters and must write their coordinates.
Let’s go one by one:
a) Y
→ Look at point Y: x = 4, y = 5 →
(4, 5)
b) A
→ Point A: x = -5, y = -2 →
(-5, -2)
c) G
→ Point G: x = -6, y = 3 →
(-6, 3)
d) I
→ Point I: x = 3, y = -2 →
(3, -2)
e) F
→ Point F: x = -5, y = -7 →
(-5, -7)
f) K
→ Point K: x = 7, y = -4 →
(7, -4)
g) T
→ Point T: x = -8, y = 7 →
(-8, 7)
h) C
→ Point C: x = 1, y = 7 →
(1, 7)
i) W
→ Point W: x = -1, y = 0 →
(-1, 0)
j) X
→ Point X: x = 0, y = -7 →
(0, -7)
