Let’s solve this step by step.
We are given a coordinate grid with fruits and vegetables placed at different points. The x-axis goes left to right (horizontal), and the y-axis goes bottom to top (vertical). Each point is labeled with an ordered pair: (x, y).
---
Part A: Write the ordered pair for each item.
We need to find the coordinates of each numbered item.
Remember:
- First number = how far right from 0 (x-coordinate)
- Second number = how far up from 0 (y-coordinate)
Let’s go one by one:
1.
Strawberry — Look at its position. It’s at x=2, y=3 →
(2, 3)
2.
Watermelon — At x=1, y=6 →
(1, 6)
3.
Tomato — At x=2, y=2 →
(2, 2)
4.
Eggplant — At x=1, y=8 →
(1, 8)
5.
Broccoli — At x=1, y=1 →
(1, 1)
Wait — let me double-check using the grid carefully.
Actually, looking again:
The grid has lines. Let’s count columns (x) from left starting at 0, rows (y) from bottom starting at 0.
Item 1: Strawberry — it’s in column 2, row 3 → (2, 3)
✔
Item 2: Watermelon — column 1, row 6 → (1, 6)
✔
Item 3: Tomato — column 2, row 2 → (2, 2)
✔
Item 4: Eggplant — column 1, row 8 → (1, 8)
✔
Item 5: Broccoli — column 1, row 1 → (1, 1)
✔
Looks good.

Part B: Write the item located at each ordered pair.
Now we’re given coordinates and must name the fruit/veg there.
6.
(4, 2) — Go right 4, up 2 → That’s the
pineapple
7.
(9, 7) — Right 9, up 7 → That’s the
lemon
8.
(6, 7) — Right 6, up 7 → That’s the
apple (red apple near center-top)
9.
(5, 4) — Right 5, up 4 → That’s the
pumpkin
10.
(7, 1) — Right 7, up 1 → That’s the
onion (purple round thing)
Let me verify each:
6. (4,2): Yes — pineapple is there.
7. (9,7): Lemon — yes, on the far right, high up.
8. (6,7): Apple — red apple, yes.
9. (5,4): Pumpkin — orange, round, yes.
10. (7,1): Onion — purple, low down, yes.
All match.
