Let’s go step by step to mark each point on the coordinate plane.
Remember:
An ordered pair like (x, y) means:
- First number = x → move right from 0 along the bottom (horizontal axis)
- Second number = y → move up from 0 along the left side (vertical axis)
We’ll find each point one by one:
---
A → (3, 10)
Start at 0. Move 3 steps right → then 10 steps up. Mark that spot with “A”.
B → (5, 2)
Move 5 right → then 2 up. Mark “B”.
C → (1, 4)
Move 1 right → then 4 up. Mark “C”.
D → (9, 1)
Move 9 right → then 1 up. Mark “D”.
E → (0, 7)
Stay at 0 on x-axis → go straight up 7. Mark “E” on the y-axis.
F → (12, 12)
Move 12 right → then 12 up. Mark “F”.
G → (0, 0)
This is the origin — where x and y both start. Mark “G” at the bottom-left corner.
H → (13, 3)
Move 13 right → then 3 up. Mark “H”.
I → (15, 0)
Move 15 right → stay at 0 on y-axis (on the bottom line). Mark “I”.
---
Now, let’s double-check a few to make sure we didn’t mix up x and y:
- A(3,10): x=3, y=10 → correct
- E(0,7): x=0 → on vertical axis, y=7 → yes
- I(15,0): y=0 → on horizontal axis, x=15 → yes
- G(0,0): center start → correct
All points are within the grid (x goes to 17, y to 15), so all can be plotted.
Final Answer:
Mark these points on the coordinate plane as follows:
- A at (3, 10)
- B at (5, 2)
- C at (1, 4)
- D at (9, 1)
- E at (0, 7)
- F at (12, 12)
- G at (0, 0)
- H at (13, 3)
- I at (15, 0)
Each letter should be placed exactly at its corresponding (x, y) location on the grid.
