Let's solve the problem step by step using the coordinate plane shown in the image.
---
Understanding the Coordinate Plane
- The coordinate plane has an
x-axis (horizontal) and a
y-axis (vertical).
- Each point is represented as an
ordered pair:
(x, y).
- The
x-coordinate is the horizontal position (how far right or left from the origin).
- The
y-coordinate is the vertical position (how far up or down from the origin).
We are working in the
first quadrant, so all values are positive.

Part A: Write the ordered pair for each item
We need to find the coordinates of each food item shown:
1.
Cake with blue icing
- Located at x = 3, y = 6 →
(3, 6)
2.
Potted plant (red pot)
- Located at x = 1, y = 8 →
(1, 8)
3.
Orange jelly-like dessert
- Located at x = 7, y = 6 →
(7, 6)
4.
Donut with pink frosting
- Located at x = 10, y = 9 →
(10, 9)
5.
Hot dog / bread roll
- Located at x = 5, y = 1 →
(5, 1)
---
Part B: Write the item located at each ordered pair
Now we locate the item at the given coordinates:
6.
(2, 3)
- At x = 2, y = 3 → There is a
slice of cake (with red top) →
Slice of cake
7.
(4, 10)
- At x = 4, y = 10 → There is a
cupcake →
Cupcake
8.
(9, 6)
- At x = 9, y = 6 → There is a
pizza →
Pizza
9.
(6, 3)
- At x = 6, y = 3 → There is an
ice cream cone →
Ice cream cone
10.
(8, 5)
- At x = 8, y = 5 → There is a
purple cup (possibly a drink) →
Purple cup

✔ Final Answers:
####
A) Ordered pairs:
1) (3, 6)
2) (1, 8)
3) (7, 6)
4) (10, 9)
5) (5, 1)
####
B) Items at coordinates:
6) Slice of cake
7) Cupcake
8) Pizza
9) Ice cream cone
10) Purple cup
