To find the coordinates for each shape, we look at where it sits on the grid.
1.
Find the x-coordinate (first number): Start at the center (0) and move left or right along the horizontal line to see which number lines up with the shape. Left is negative, right is positive.
2.
Find the y-coordinate (second number): From that spot on the line, look up or down to see which number on the vertical axis matches the shape. Up is positive, down is negative.
Let's solve them one by one:
*
2) Square: Look at the blue square in the top right area.
* Go across from the center: It lines up with
3.
* Go up from there: It lines up with
6.
* Coordinate:
(3, 6)
*
3) Hexagon: Look at the blue hexagon in the top left area.
* Go across from the center: It lines up with
-3.
* Go up from there: It lines up with
6.
* Coordinate:
(-3, 6)
*
4) Frog: Look at the green frog in the bottom left corner.
* Go across from the center: It lines up with
-6.
* Go down from there: It lines up with
-6.
* Coordinate:
(-6, -6)
*
5) Fish: Look at the yellow fish near the bottom.
* Go across from the center: It lines up with
2.
* Go down from there: It lines up with
-5.
* Coordinate:
(2, -5)
*
6) Pentagon: Look at the blue pentagon on the right side.
* Go across from the center: It lines up with
5.
* Go down from there: It lines up with
-1.
* Coordinate:
(5, -1)
*
7) Right triangle: Look at the blue triangle on the far right.
* Go across from the center: It lines up with
6.
* Go up from there: It lines up with
2.
* Coordinate:
(6, 2)
*
8) Equilateral triangle: Look at the blue triangle pointing up on the left side.
* Go across from the center: It lines up with
-5.
* Go down from there: It lines up with
-3.
* Coordinate:
(-5, -3)
*
9) Crab: Look at the orange crab near the middle.
* Go across from the center: It lines up with
-2.
* Go up from there: It lines up with
2.
* Coordinate:
(-2, 2)
*
10) Snail: Look at the snail on the right side.
* Go across from the center: It lines up with
6.
* Go down from there: It lines up with
-3.
* Coordinate:
(6, -3)
Final Answer:
2) Square (3, 6)
3) Hexagon (-3, 6)
4) Frog (-6, -6)
5) Fish (2, -5)
6) Pentagon (5, -1)
7) Right triangle (6, 2)
8) Equilateral triangle (-5, -3)
9) Crab (-2, 2)
10) Snail (6, -3)
