Here are the answers to the worksheet problems, solved step-by-step.
Part 1: Tell what point is located at each ordered pair.
To find the point, start at 0 on the bottom line (x-axis), move right to the first number, then move up to the second number.
1.
(5, 8): Move right to 5, then up to 8. The letter there is
M.
2.
(12, 2): Move right to 12, then up to 2. The letter there is
P.
3.
(8, 7): Move right to 8, then up to 7. The letter there is
H.
4.
(12, 10): Move right to 12, then up to 10. The letter there is
G.
5.
(7, 7): Move right to 7, then up to 7. The letter there is
Q.
6.
(0, 10): Stay at 0 on the bottom, go straight up to 10. The letter there is
E.
Part 2: Write the ordered pair for each given point.
To write the pair, look at how far right the point is (first number) and how high up it is (second number).

Part 3: Plot the following points on the coordinate grid.
*(Since I cannot draw on your paper, here is exactly where you should put a dot for each one)*
13.
S (6, 11): Go right to
6, then go all the way up to
11. Put a dot there and label it S.
14.
T (3, 5): Go right to
3, then go up to
5. Put a dot there and label it T.
15.
U (9, 12): Go right to
9, then go all the way up to
12. Put a dot there and label it U.
