To find the coordinates for each point on the graph, we follow the rules shown in the image:
1.
Start at the origin $(0,0)$, which is the center where the lines cross.
2.
First move Left or Right along the horizontal line (the x-axis).
* Moving Right is positive ($+$).
* Moving Left is negative ($-$).
3.
Then move Up or Down along the vertical line (the y-axis).
* Moving Up is positive ($+$).
* Moving Down is negative ($-$).
Let's find the coordinates $(x, y)$ for each labeled point:
*
Point A: Start at $(0,0)$. Move
9 units Left to $-9$. Then move
1 unit Down to $-1$.
* Coordinates: $(-9, -1)$
*
Point B: Start at $(0,0)$. Move
6 units Right to $6$. Then move
5 units Down to $-5$.
* Coordinates: $(6, -5)$
*
Point C: Start at $(0,0)$. It is already at $0$ horizontally. Move
5 units Up to $5$.
* Coordinates: $(0, 5)$
*
Point D: Start at $(0,0)$. Move
3 units Right to $3$. Then move
8 units Up to $8$.
* Coordinates: $(3, 8)$
*
Point E: Start at $(0,0)$. Move
6 units Left to $-6$. Then move
9 units Up to $9$.
* Coordinates: $(-6, 9)$
*
Point F: Start at $(0,0)$. Move
4 units Left to $-4$. Then move
5 units Down to $-5$.
* Coordinates: $(-4, -5)$
*
Point G: Start at $(0,0)$. Move
8 units Right to $8$. Then move
3 units Up to $3$.
* Coordinates: $(8, 3)$
*
Point H: Start at $(0,0)$. Move
1 unit Right to $1$. Then move
7 units Down to $-7$.
* Coordinates: $(1, -7)$
*
Point I: Start at $(0,0)$. Move
9 units Left to $-9$. Then move
4 units Up to $4$.
* Coordinates: $(-9, 4)$
*
Point J: Start at $(0,0)$. Move
8 units Left to $-8$. Then move
8 units Down to $-8$.
* Coordinates: $(-8, -8)$
Final Answer:
A: (-9, -1)
B: (6, -5)
C: (0, 5)
D: (3, 8)
E: (-6, 9)
F: (-4, -5)
G: (8, 3)
H: (1, -7)
I: (-9, 4)
J: (-8, -8)
