Let's solve the problem step by step.
Task:
Plot the given points on a coordinate grid (only the first quadrant). The points are:
- A = (7, 5)
- B = (3, 9)
- C = (3, 6)
- D = (2, 4)
- E = (2, 2)
- F = (1, 2)
- G = (9, 6)
- H = (8, 3)
- I = (0, 4)
- J = (1, 1)
---
Understanding Coordinates:
Each point is written as (x, y), where:
-
x is the horizontal position (how far right from the origin),
-
y is the vertical position (how far up from the origin).
We start at the origin (0, 0), move right for x, and up for y.

Step-by-step Plotting Instructions:
1.
A = (7, 5)
- Move 7 units right → then 5 units up.
2.
B = (3, 9)
- Move 3 units right → then 9 units up.
3.
C = (3, 6)
- Move 3 units right → then 6 units up.
4.
D = (2, 4)
- Move 2 units right → then 4 units up.
5.
E = (2, 2)
- Move 2 units right → then 2 units up.
6.
F = (1, 2)
- Move 1 unit right → then 2 units up.
7.
G = (9, 6)
- Move 9 units right → then 6 units up.
8.
H = (8, 3)
- Move 8 units right → then 3 units up.
9.
I = (0, 4)
- Stay at x = 0 (on the y-axis) → go 4 units up.
10.
J = (1, 1)
- Move 1 unit right → then 1 unit up.

Tips for Plotting:
- Use graph paper or the grid provided.
- Mark each point with a dot and label it with its letter.
- Make sure to count carefully along both axes.

Visual Summary of Points:
Here’s how they would look on the grid:
```
Y
|
9 | B(3,9)
8 |
7 |
6 | C(3,6) G(9,6)
5 | A(7,5)
4 | D(2,4) I(0,4)
3 | H(8,3)
2 | E(2,2) F(1,2)
1 | J(1,1)
0 +-------------------------> X
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
```
> Note: This is a rough sketch; in practice, you'd plot each point precisely on the grid.

✔ Final Answer:
To complete the worksheet:
- Draw a coordinate grid with x and y axes labeled from 0 to 10.
- Plot each point using the (x, y) coordinates.
- Label each point with its corresponding letter (A, B, C, ..., J).
