Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a coordinate grid and instructions to plot points and join them. The goal is to follow the steps carefully so we can draw the correct shape or picture.
---
Step 1: Number both axes from 0 to 10 and label them.
- The horizontal axis (x-axis) goes left to right. We number it from 0 on the far left to 10 on the far right.
- The vertical axis (y-axis) goes bottom to top. We number it from 0 at the bottom to 10 at the top.
- Label the x-axis “x” and the y-axis “y”.
✔ Done — now our grid is ready for plotting.
---
Step 2: Plot the following coordinates and join them as you go.
We will plot each point in order, and draw a line from one point to the next as we go. This means we connect (0,5) → (2,7) → (2,8) → ... all the way to the last point (0,5).
Let’s list them again in order:
(0,5)
→ (2,7)
→ (2,8)
→ (3,7)
→ (3,8)
→ (4,7)
→ (4,5)
→ (8,5)
→ (9,4)
→ (10,2)
→ (9,3)
→ (9,2)
→ (8,0)
→ (7,0)
→ (8,2)
→ (7,3)
→ (6,0)
→ (5,0)
→ (6,2)
→ (4,2)
→ (3,0)
→ (2,0)
→ (3,2)
→ (2,2)
→ (1,0)
→ (0,0)
→ (2,3)
→ (2,5)
→ (0,5) ← back to start!
💡 Tip: When you see a point like (2,7), that means:
- Move 2 units to the right along the x-axis.
- Then move 7 units up along the y-axis.
- Put a dot there.
Do this for every point, and draw lines between them as you go. You’ll be drawing a continuous path.
This long list of points will form a shape — probably an animal or object since it starts and ends at (0,5). It might look like a salamander or lizard (given the website name!).

Step 3: Plot and join the following coordinates.
These are separate from Step 2. Don’t connect them to the first shape unless told to.
Points:
(10,10)
→ (8,9)
→ (8,8)
→ (10,7)
Plot these four points and connect them in order:
- Start at (10,10)
- Draw line to (8,9)
- Then to (8,8)
- Then to (10,7)
This looks like a small triangle or arrowhead shape in the top-right corner.

Now, let’s double-check if we missed anything.
✔️ Axes labeled 0–10? Yes.
✔️ All points plotted in order? Yes.
✔️ Lines drawn between consecutive points? Yes.
✔️ Second set of points plotted separately? Yes.
You should now have two shapes:
1. A larger connected shape made from 29 points (starting and ending at (0,5)) — likely a creature.
2. A smaller 4-point shape in the top-right — maybe a tail or decoration.

Final Answer:
Follow the steps above to complete your worksheet. Plot all points in order, connect them with lines, and label your axes. The final drawing will show a figure (likely a salamander) and a small separate shape in the top-right corner.
