Let’s go step by step to find each answer using the coordinate grid.
We’ll use the map legend to match symbols with places, and then read their coordinates from the grid. Remember:
- The first number in a coordinate (x) tells you how far left or right from the center (0). Left is negative, right is positive.
- The second number (y) tells you how far up or down. Up is positive, down is negative.

1. At which coordinate point is the school located?
Look for the green book symbol (school). It’s at x = 3, y = -4 →
(3, -4)
---
2. What place can be found at the coordinate point (-5, 1)?
Go to x = -5 (left 5), y = 1 (up 1). That’s the red train →
Train Station
---
3. What place can be found at the coordinate point (5, 3)?
x = 5 (right 5), y = 3 (up 3). That’s the blue person icon →
Police Station
---
4. At which coordinate point is the hospital located?
Hospital is the white building with a red cross. Find it on the grid: x = -6, y = -6 →
(-6, -6)
---
5. What place can be found at the coordinate point (-1, 3)?
x = -1 (left 1), y = 3 (up 3). That’s the yellow house →
House
---
6. At which coordinate point is the zoo located?
Zoo is the lion icon. Look at grid: x = 4, y = -3 →
(4, -3)
---
7. At which coordinate point is the market located?
Market is the green cart. On grid: x = -2, y = -2 →
(-2, -2)
---
8. At which coordinate point is the house located?
House is the yellow house. We already saw it at (-1, 3) →
(-1, 3)
Wait — let’s double-check. Yes, same as question 5. So house is at
(-1, 3)
---
9. What place can be found at the coordinate point (-2, -2)?
That’s the green cart →
Market
---
10. What places are in Quadrant III?
Quadrant III is where both x and y are negative (bottom-left section).
Look at all points with negative x and negative y:
- Hospital: (-6, -6)
✔
- Market: (-2, -2)
✔
- Library: (-3, -6)
✔ (blue book with “L”)
- School? No, school is at (3, -4) → x positive → not QIII
- Zoo? (4, -3) → x positive → no
- Train station? (-5, 1) → y positive → no
So places in Quadrant III:
Hospital, Market, Library

Final Answer:
1. (3, -4)
2. Train Station
3. Police Station
4. (-6, -6)
5. House
6. (4, -3)
7. (-2, -2)
8. (-1, 3)
9. Market
10. Hospital, Market, Library
