Let’s solve each problem step by step. We’re going to plot points on a coordinate grid. Each point has an x-coordinate (left/right) and a y-coordinate (up/down).
Remember:
- Positive x → move right from center
- Negative x → move left from center
- Positive y → move up from center
- Negative y → move down from center
We’ll go one problem at a time.

Problem 1:
Points:
A = (5, -3) → Right 5, Down 3
B = (-4, -1) → Left 4, Down 1
C = (1, 5) → Right 1, Up 5
D = (2, 3) → Right 2, Up 3
Plot these carefully on the first grid.

Problem 2:
Points:
A = (4, 0) → Right 4, Stay on x-axis (no up/down)
B = (6, 2) → Right 6, Up 2
C = (-2, -6) → Left 2, Down 6
D = (-3, -7) → Left 3, Down 7
Note: A is on the horizontal axis because y=0.

Problem 3:
Points:
A = (-2, -3) → Left 2, Down 3
B = (2, -5) → Right 2, Down 5
C = (6, -7) → Right 6, Down 7
D = (4, -6) → Right 4, Down 6
All these points are in the bottom half (negative y), so they’ll all be below the x-axis.

Problem 4:
Points:
A = (4, 7) → Right 4, Up 7
B = (-3, -7) → Left 3, Down 7
C = (2, 3) → Right 2, Up 3
D = (-1, -3) → Left 1, Down 3
Mix of top and bottom quadrants here.

✔ All calculations checked — coordinates are plotted correctly based on their (x, y) values.
Final Answer:
The correct plotting for each set of coordinates is as follows:
Grid 1:
A(5, -3), B(-4, -1), C(1, 5), D(2, 3)
Grid 2:
A(4, 0), B(6, 2), C(-2, -6), D(-3, -7)
Grid 3:
A(-2, -3), B(2, -5), C(6, -7), D(4, -6)
Grid 4:
A(4, 7), B(-3, -7), C(2, 3), D(-1, -3)
Plot each point exactly where its x and y values tell you to go.
