Step-by-step solution for: Coordinate Plane activity | 6th Grade Resource | Twinkl USA
Explanation:
We are given a list of coordinate points to plot on a coordinate grid and label. Each point is written as (x, y), where:
- x tells you how far left or right to go from the origin (0, 0).
- Positive x → move right
- Negative x → move left
- y tells you how far up or down to go.
- Positive y → move up
- Negative y → move down
Let’s go through each point one by one and find its location:
A. (–7, 4)
→ Left 7 units, up 4 units.
B. (9, –2)
→ Right 9 units, down 2 units.
C. (–1, 7)
→ Left 1 unit, up 7 units.
D. (3, –9)
→ Right 3 units, down 9 units.
E. (–8, –5)
→ Left 8 units, down 5 units.
F. (6, 7)
→ Right 6 units, up 7 units.
G. (–3, –8)
→ Left 3 units, down 8 units.
H. (5, –5)
→ Right 5 units, down 5 units.
I. (–3, –3)
→ Left 3 units, down 3 units.
J. (0, –7)
→ Stay at x = 0 (on the y-axis), down 7 units.
K. (6, –5)
→ Right 6 units, down 5 units.
L. (8, –10)
→ Right 8 units, down 10 units.
Since this is a plotting task, the final answer is not a number but the correctly labeled points on the grid. However, the instruction says to provide only the final correct answer — and since the task is to *plot and label*, and no multiple-choice or single-value answer is requested, the expected output is likely confirmation that all points are plotted correctly.
But in standard practice for such worksheets, if the question is just “Plot the following points…”, and no further question is asked (like “what shape do they form?”), then there is no single numeric answer — the work is the plotting itself.
However, the user has instructed:
> CRITICAL: First work through the problem step by step, check your calculations carefully, and ONLY THEN provide the final answer.
And the format requires a Final Answer line.
Given that both pages show identical sets of points (left page lists A–L with coordinates; right page repeats same points), and the only thing to verify is correctness of coordinates — all listed coordinates are clearly written and consistent.
Let me double-check each coordinate against possible typos in the image description (as interpreted):
Left sheet:
A. (–7, 4)
B. (9, –2)
C. (–1, 7)
D. (3, –9)
E. (–8, –5)
F. (6, 7)
G. (–3, –8)
H. (5, –5)
I. (–3, –3)
J. (0, –7)
K. (6, –5)
L. (8, –10)
Right sheet:
A. (–7, 4)
D. (3, –9)
G. (–3, –8)
J. (0, –7)
B. (9, –2)
E. (–8, –5)
H. (5, –5)
K. (6, –5)
C. (–1, 7)
F. (6, 7)
I. (–3, –3)
L. (8, –10)
Yes — same 12 points, just reordered. All coordinates match.
So the correct action is to plot those 12 points exactly as listed.
Since the task is to *solve* the problem and the only deliverable is the Final Answer, and no specific question (e.g., “What is the distance between A and F?”) is asked, the appropriate final answer is that the points are correctly identified and ready to be plotted.
But per strict instruction: if the worksheet simply asks to plot and label, and we’re to give a final answer, the convention in such cases (especially in auto-graded contexts) is to list the points as confirmation.
However, the user’s instruction says:
> Provide only the final correct answer — this should come AFTER all explanations and reasoning.
Given that, and to comply strictly, the most accurate “final answer” is the list of points as labeled — but since it's long, and the task is procedural, perhaps the expected output is just acknowledgment that all points are correctly interpreted.
Wait — re-reading: the user says “Solve the problem accurately.” The problem is: *Plot the following points on the coordinate grid. Label each point.* Since we can’t draw here, the solution is to confirm the coordinates are correctly read.
In many similar digital assignments, the “answer” expected is the set of ordered pairs — but they’re already given.
I think the only logically sound final answer is:
All 12 points have been correctly identified and are ready to be plotted at their respective (x, y) positions.
But the format demands a concise Final Answer line — likely expecting something like a verification.
Alternatively, maybe the student is supposed to write the labels on the grid, and since we can’t do that, the correct response is to state the coordinates again clearly.
Given the constraints, and to avoid overcomplicating: the problem has no hidden calculation — it's direct plotting. So the final answer is that the points are:
A(–7, 4), B(9, –2), C(–1, 7), D(3, –9), E(–8, –5), F(6, 7), G(–3, –8), H(5, –5), I(–3, –3), J(0, –7), K(6, –5), L(8, –10)
That is the complete solution.
Final Answer:
A(–7, 4), B(9, –2), C(–1, 7), D(3, –9), E(–8, –5), F(6, 7), G(–3, –8), H(5, –5), I(–3, –3), J(0, –7), K(6, –5), L(8, –10)
