To find the ordered pairs for each point, we look at where each point sits on the grid.
How to read the coordinates:
1. Start at the bottom-left corner (0,0).
2. Move
right along the bottom line (the x-axis) to see how far over the point is. This is the first number.
3. Move
up along the side line (the y-axis) to see how high the point is. This is the second number.
4. Write it as
(x, y).
Here are the points from the graph:
*
Point A: Go right
6, go up
2. →
(6, 2)
*
Point B: Go right
5, go up
3. →
(5, 3)
*
Point C: Go right
4, go up
4. →
(4, 4)
*
Point D: Go right
3, go up
5. →
(3, 5)
*
Point E: Go right
2, go up
6. →
(2, 6)
*
Point F: Go right
3, go up
7. →
(3, 7)
*
Point G: Go right
4, go up
8. →
(4, 8)
*
Point H: Go right
6, go up
8. →
(6, 8)
*
Point I: Go right
8, go up
8. →
(8, 8)
*
Point J: Go right
9, go up
7. →
(9, 7)
*
Point K: Go right
10, go up
6. →
(10, 6)
*
Point L: Go right
9, go up
5. →
(9, 5)
*
Point M: Go right
8, go up
4. →
(8, 4)
*
Point N: Go right
7, go up
3. →
(7, 3)
Final Answer:
A: (6, 2)
B: (5, 3)
C: (4, 4)
D: (3, 5)
E: (2, 6)
F: (3, 7)
G: (4, 8)
H: (6, 8)
I: (8, 8)
J: (9, 7)
K: (10, 6)
L: (9, 5)
M: (8, 4)
N: (7, 3)
