Let's solve the coordinate grid worksheet step by step.
---
Understanding the Coordinate Grid
- The coordinate grid has an
x-axis (horizontal) and a
y-axis (vertical).
- An
ordered pair is written as
(x, y):
-
x = horizontal position (right = positive, left = negative)
-
y = vertical position (up = positive, down = negative)
We’ll use the given graph to locate points.

Part 1: Tell what point is located at each ordered pair
We'll find which labeled point is at each coordinate.
1.
(3,1) → Look for x=3, y=1 → Point
F
2.
(7,8) → x=7, y=8 → Point
H
3.
(1,4) → x=1, y=4 → Point
M
4.
(5,0) → x=5, y=0 → Point
R
5.
(8,7) → x=8, y=7 → Point
A
6.
(4,2) → x=4, y=2 → Point
D
7.
(5,5) → x=5, y=5 → Point
J
8.
(1,3) → x=1, y=3 → Point
C
✔ Answers:
1. F
2. H
3. M
4. R
5. A
6. D
7. J
8. C

Part 2: Write the ordered pair for each given point
Now we reverse it — write the coordinates of each labeled point.
9.
A → At (8,7) →
(8,7)
10.
T → At (7,2) →
(7,2)
11.
W → At (3,7) →
(3,7)
12.
O → At (4,1) →
(4,1)
13.
Q → At (0,6) →
(0,6)
✔ Answers:
9. (8,7)
10. (7,2)
11. (3,7)
12. (4,1)
13. (0,6)

Part 3: Plot the following points on the coordinate grid
These are points to plot. Since we can't draw here, I'll just confirm their locations:
14.
B (2,8) → x=2, y=8 → This would be above point M
15.
E (0,7) → x=0, y=7 → On the y-axis, one unit below W
16.
X (6,3) → x=6, y=3 → Between D and T
17.
S (8,5) → x=8, y=5 → Right of A, below H
18.
P (2,1) → x=2, y=1 → Below C
19.
G (7,7) → x=7, y=7 → Left of H, below A
You'd plot these on the grid accordingly.

Part 4: Movement Problems
20. Start at
(0,0).
- Go right 3 spaces → x = 0 + 3 = 3
- Go up 7 spaces → y = 0 + 7 = 7
- Final point:
(3,7) → That’s point
W
✔ Answer:
(3,7) or
W
21. Start at point
C.
- From earlier,
C is at (1,3)
- Go right 7 spaces → x = 1 + 7 = 8
- Go down 1 space → y = 3 - 1 = 2
- Final point:
(8,2)
✔ Answer:
(8,2)
---
✔ Final Answers:
1. F
2. H
3. M
4. R
5. A
6. D
7. J
8. C
9. (8,7)
10. (7,2)
11. (3,7)
12. (4,1)
13. (0,6)
14–19: Plot B(2,8), E(0,7), X(6,3), S(8,5), P(2,1), G(7,7) on the grid.
20. (3,7)
21. (8,2)
