Let's solve
Problem 1 from the worksheet: *"Write down the coordinates of each point of the face."*
We are given a cartoon face drawn on a coordinate grid, with labeled points A through L. We need to determine the
(x, y) coordinates for each of these points.
---
Step-by-step: Find Coordinates
We'll go through each labeled point and read its position on the grid:
- The
x-axis runs horizontally (left to right).
- The
y-axis runs vertically (bottom to top).
- Each square represents 1 unit.
---
#### Point A:
- x = 2
- y = 5
- So,
A (2, 5)
#### Point B:
- x = 4
- y = 4
- So,
B (4, 4)
#### Point C:
- x = 3
- y = 2
- So,
C (3, 2)
#### Point D:
- x = 3
- y = -1
- So,
D (3, -1)
#### Point E:
- x = 1
- y = -3
- So,
E (1, -3)
#### Point F:
- x = -1
- y = -3
- So,
F (-1, -3)
#### Point G:
- x = -3
- y = -1
- So,
G (-3, -1)
#### Point H:
- x = -3
- y = 2
- So,
H (-3, 2)
#### Point I:
- x = -4
- y = 4
- So,
I (-4, 4)
#### Point J:
- x = -2
- y = 5
- So,
J (-2, 5)
#### Point K:
- x = -1
- y = 4
- So,
K (-1, 4)
#### Point L:
- x = 1
- y = 4
- So,
L (1, 4)

🔧 Part 2: Draw Your Own Face
This is an open-ended creative task. You are to:
1. Draw your own face on the blank grid below.
2. Label key points (like A, B, C, etc.) on your drawing.
3. Then write down their coordinates in the table provided.
Since this is not a fixed answer, here’s how you can approach it:
- Choose a simple shape (e.g., a rectangle or triangle for the face).
- Add eyes, nose, mouth using dots or small shapes.
- Label at least 10–12 points (A to N as shown).
- For each labeled point, record its (x, y) coordinates based on the grid.
Example (if you draw a symmetric face):
- A (2, 5) – top of head
- B (4, 4) – right ear
- C (4, 2) – right eye
- D (4, 0) – nose tip
- E (4, -2) – mouth corner
- F (0, -2) – chin
- G (-4, -2) – left mouth corner
- H (-4, 0) – left nose
- I (-4, 2) – left eye
- J (-4, 4) – left ear
- K (0, 5) – top center
- L (0, 3) – forehead
- M (0, 1) – nose base
- N (0, -1) – mouth center
Then fill in the table accordingly.
