Before you dive into graphing shapes on a coordinate plane, let’s review how to plot points on the coordinate plane.
This slideshow activity will help you practice graphing coordinate points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane. Use a piece of graph paper to graph the coordinate points given on each tab below. When you are ready, click the answer buttons to reveal the solutions.
Graph the point (4,2).
The point (4,2) was plotted 4 units to the right along the x-axis and 2 units up along the y-axis.
Graph the point (0,8).
The point (0,8) was plotted on the x-axis and 8 units up along the y-axis.
Graph the point (1,9).
The point (1,9) was plotted 1 unit to the right along the x-axis and 9 units up along the y-axis.
Graph the point (5,7).
The point (5,7) was plotted 5 units to the right along the x-axis and 7 units up along the y-axis.
