To solve this problem, we need to find the
x and
y coordinates for each of the 8 points listed in the table. The graph paper uses a grid where each square represents
1 unit.
Here is the step-by-step logic to find the coordinates:
1.
Find x (Horizontal): Start at the center (0,0). Move right for positive numbers or left for negative numbers along the bottom axis.
2.
Find y (Vertical): From that x position, move up for positive numbers or down for negative numbers along the side axis.
Let's calculate the coordinates for each point:
Point A:
* Instruction: $x = +3$, $y = +4$
* Move 3 units Right, 4 units Up.
*
Coordinate: $(3, 4)$
Point B:
* Instruction: $x = -5$, $y = +2$
* Move 5 units Left, 2 units Up.
*
Coordinate: $(-5, 2)$
Point C:
* Instruction: $x = -2$, $y = -6$
* Move 2 units Left, 6 units Down.
*
Coordinate: $(-2, -6)$
Point D:
* Instruction: $x = +7$, $y = -3$
* Move 7 units Right, 3 units Down.
*
Coordinate: $(7, -3)$
Point E:
* Instruction: $x = 0$, $y = +5$
* Stay at 0 horizontally, move 5 units Up.
*
Coordinate: $(0, 5)$
Point F:
* Instruction: $x = -4$, $y = 0$
* Move 4 units Left, stay at 0 vertically.
*
Coordinate: $(-4, 0)$
Point G:
* Instruction: $x = +6$, $y = -1$
* Move 6 units Right, 1 unit Down.
*
Coordinate: $(6, -1)$
Point H:
* Instruction: $x = -3$, $y = -4$
* Move 3 units Left, 4 units Down.
*
Coordinate: $(-3, -4)$
Final Answer:
A: (3, 4)
B: (-5, 2)
C: (-2, -6)
D: (7, -3)
E: (0, 5)
F: (-4, 0)
G: (6, -1)
H: (-3, -4)
