To solve this problem, we need to locate each point on the coordinate grid. A coordinate pair is written as $(x, y)$.
* The
first number ($x$) tells you how far to move left or right from the center (0).
* Positive numbers mean move
Right.
* Negative numbers mean move
Left.
* The
second number ($y$) tells you how far to move up or down from the center (0).
* Positive numbers mean move
Up.
* Negative numbers mean move
Down.
Here is the step-by-step location for each point:
1.
A = (-9, 4): Start at the center. Move
9 spaces Left, then move
4 spaces Up. Mark the point.
2.
B = (-7, 5): Start at the center. Move
7 spaces Left, then move
5 spaces Up. Mark the point.
3.
C = (4, -8): Start at the center. Move
4 spaces Right, then move
8 spaces Down. Mark the point.
4.
D = (-7, 8): Start at the center. Move
7 spaces Left, then move
8 spaces Up. Mark the point.
5.
E = (0, 8): Start at the center. Do not move left or right (because x is 0). Move
8 spaces Up. Mark the point on the vertical line.
6.
F = (3, 8): Start at the center. Move
3 spaces Right, then move
8 spaces Up. Mark the point.
7.
G = (10, 6): Start at the center. Move
10 spaces Right (to the edge), then move
6 spaces Up. Mark the point.
8.
H = (-10, 10): Start at the center. Move
10 spaces Left (to the edge), then move
10 spaces Up (to the top corner). Mark the point.
9.
I = (-2, -5): Start at the center. Move
2 spaces Left, then move
5 spaces Down. Mark the point.
10.
J = (5, 10): Start at the center. Move
5 spaces Right, then move
10 spaces Up (to the top edge). Mark the point.
11.
K = (-5, -8): Start at the center. Move
5 spaces Left, then move
8 spaces Down. Mark the point.
12.
L = (0, -10): Start at the center. Do not move left or right. Move
10 spaces Down (to the bottom edge). Mark the point on the vertical line.
Final Answer:
The task requires plotting the following points on the grid:
-
A: Left 9, Up 4
-
B: Left 7, Up 5
-
C: Right 4, Down 8
-
D: Left 7, Up 8
-
E: On the y-axis, Up 8
-
F: Right 3, Up 8
-
G: Right 10, Up 6
-
H: Left 10, Up 10 (Top-left corner area)
-
I: Left 2, Down 5
-
J: Right 5, Up 10
-
K: Left 5, Down 8
-
L: On the y-axis, Down 10
