The Coordinate Plane Worksheets
Use ordered pairs, coordinate axes and horizontal or vertical distance.
Before you begin
Read labeled dimensions and coordinates. Recall multiplication facts and length units.
Worked example
Plot point P at (-1, 3) on the grid.
- Start at the origin.
- Move horizontally for x, then vertically for y.
Answer: P is 1 units left and 3 units up from the origin; coordinates (-1, 3).
