To find the ordered pair for each letter, we look at the grid. An ordered pair is written as $(x, y)$.
* The
first number ($x$) tells you how far to go across to the right from zero.
* The
second number ($y$) tells you how far to go up from zero.
Let's find the coordinates for each point:
1.
Point A: Go right to
1, then go up to
8.
* Ordered Pair: $(1, 8)$
2.
Point B: Go right to
5, then go up to
8.
* Ordered Pair: $(5, 8)$
3.
Point C: Go right to
1, then go up to
1.
* Ordered Pair: $(1, 1)$
4.
Point D: Go right to
7, then go up to
2.
* Ordered Pair: $(7, 2)$
5.
Point E: Go right to
7, then go up to
5.
* Ordered Pair: $(7, 5)$
6.
Point F: Go right to
1, then go up to
4.
* Ordered Pair: $(1, 4)$
7.
Point L: Go right to
3, then go up to
6.
* Ordered Pair: $(3, 6)$
8.
Point N: Go right to
9, then go up to
1.
* Ordered Pair: $(9, 1)$
9.
Point O: Go right to
9, then go up to
7.
* Ordered Pair: $(9, 7)$
10.
Point W: Go right to
4, then go up to
2.
* Ordered Pair: $(4, 2)$
Now, let's match these pairs to the blanks at the bottom to reveal the special message:
* $(4, 2)$ matches point
W
* $(7, 5)$ matches point
E
* $(3, 6)$ matches point
L
* $(3, 6)$ matches point
L again
* $(7, 2)$ matches point
D
* $(9, 7)$ matches point
O
* $(9, 1)$ matches point
N
* $(7, 5)$ matches point
E again
The letters spell out:
W E L L D O N E
Final Answer:
Ordered Pairs:
A = (1, 8)
B = (5, 8)
C = (1, 1)
D = (7, 2)
E = (7, 5)
F = (1, 4)
L = (3, 6)
N = (9, 1)
O = (9, 7)
W = (4, 2)
Special Message:
(4, 2) ->
W
(7, 5) ->
E
(3, 6) ->
L
(3, 6) ->
L
(7, 2) ->
D
(9, 7) ->
O
(9, 1) ->
N
(7, 5) ->
E
Message:
WELL DONE
