Coordinate Plane Worksheets - Math Monks - Free Printable

Problem Analysis:

The task involves using a coordinate plane to identify the locations of various items and to determine their corresponding ordered pairs. The coordinate plane is labeled with an \( x \)-axis (horizontal) and a \( y \)-axis (vertical). Each item is placed at a specific point on the grid, and we need to:

1. Write the ordered pair for each item (Part A).
2. Identify the item located at each given ordered pair (Part B).

Solution:

#### Part A: Write the ordered pair for each item

We will identify the coordinates of each item by observing its position on the grid. The coordinates are written as \( (x, y) \), where:
- \( x \) is the horizontal distance from the origin (left or right).
- \( y \) is the vertical distance from the origin (up or down).

1. Apple:
- The apple is located 3 units to the left of the origin and 2 units below the origin.
- Ordered pair: \( (-3, -2) \).

2. Tree:
- The tree is located 4 units to the right of the origin and 5 units below the origin.
- Ordered pair: \( (4, -5) \).

3. Butterfly:
- The butterfly is located 8 units to the right of the origin and 7 units below the origin.
- Ordered pair: \( (8, -7) \).

4. Pineapple:
- The pineapple is located 6 units to the left of the origin and 4 units above the origin.
- Ordered pair: \( (-6, 4) \).

5. Strawberry:
- The strawberry is located 8 units to the right of the origin and 6 units above the origin.
- Ordered pair: \( (8, 6) \).

So, the answers for Part A are:
1. Apple = \( (-3, -2) \)
2. Tree = \( (4, -5) \)
3. Butterfly = \( (8, -7) \)
4. Pineapple = \( (-6, 4) \)
5. Strawberry = \( (8, 6) \)

#### Part B: Draw the item located at each ordered pair

We will identify the item located at each given ordered pair by checking the corresponding position on the grid.

1. (3, 4):
- Move 3 units to the right of the origin and 4 units up.
- The item at this location is a pink flower.

2. (8, 2):
- Move 8 units to the right of the origin and 2 units up.
- The item at this location is a yellow sunflower.

3. (-7, 8):
- Move 7 units to the left of the origin and 8 units up.
- The item at this location is a green leaf.

4. (-5, -7):
- Move 5 units to the left of the origin and 7 units down.
- The item at this location is a green pear.

5. (-2, 2):
- Move 2 units to the left of the origin and 2 units up.
- The item at this location is a yellow sun.

So, the answers for Part B are:
1. (3, 4) = Pink flower
2. (8, 2) = Yellow sunflower
3. (-7, 8) = Green leaf
4. (-5, -7) = Green pear
5. (-2, 2) = Yellow sun

Final Answer:

\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ll}
\text{Part A:} & \\
1. \text{Apple} = (-3, -2) & \\
2. \text{Tree} = (4, -5) & \\

4. \text{Pineapple} = (-6, 4) & \\
5. \text{Strawberry} = (8, 6) & \\
\text{Part B:} & \\
1. (3, 4) = \text{Pink flower} & \\
2. (8, 2) = \text{Yellow sunflower} & \\
3. (-7, 8) = \text{Green leaf} & \\
