Let’s go step by step to plot each point on the coordinate plane.
Remember:
Each point is written as (x, y).
- The
first number is the
x-coordinate → move left or right from the center (origin).
- Positive x → move
right
- Negative x → move
left
- The
second number is the
y-coordinate → move up or down from where you are.
- Positive y → move
up
- Negative y → move
down
We’ll go through each point one by one and check if it’s plotted correctly in the image.
---
a) A(-7, -4)
→ Start at origin. Move 7 units LEFT (because x = -7), then 4 units DOWN (because y = -4).
✔ In the image, point A is at (-7, -4) — correct.
b) B(-10, -9)
→ Move 10 left, 9 down.
✔ Point B is at (-10, -9) — correct.
c) P(-3, 7)
→ Move 3 left, 7 up.
✔ Point P is at (-3, 7) — correct.
d) Z(9, -5)
→ Move 9 right, 5 down.
✔ Point Z is at (9, -5) — correct.
e) X(6, 8)
→ Move 6 right, 8 up.
✔ Point X is at (6, 8) — correct.
f) R(-9, -6)
→ Move 9 left, 6 down.
✔ Point R is at (-9, -6) — correct.
g) Q(-4, -4)
→ Move 4 left, 4 down.
✔ Point Q is at (-4, -4) — correct.
h) Y(5, -8)
→ Move 5 right, 8 down.
✔ Point Y is at (5, -8) — correct.
i) W(4, 10)
→ Move 4 right, 10 up.
✔ Point W is at (4, 10) — correct.
j) K(7, 4)
→ Move 7 right, 4 up.
✔ Point K is at (7, 4) — correct.
k) D(3, 2)
→ Move 3 right, 2 up.
✔ Point D is at (3, 2) — correct.
l) J(0, -3)
→ x = 0 → stay at center vertically. Move 3 down.
✔ Point J is at (0, -3) — correct.

All points are plotted exactly where they should be according to their coordinates.
Final Answer: All points are correctly plotted on the coordinate plane as per their given coordinates.
