Question

A shape is plotted on a coordinate plane using the following points: , , , and . What shape is it?

Answer

If you plot these points on a coordinate plane, the shape has four sides and opposite sides are equal and parallel, but all sides are not equal.

Therefore, it is a rectangle.

Question

A square is plotted on a coordinate plane. It includes the following points: What is the remaining point?

Answer

Each of the points is written as an ordered pair. The first number in each ordered pair shows where the point is located on the x-axis. The second number in each ordered pair shows where the point is located on the y-axis. If you plot the ordered pairs listed in the problem, the ordered pair that is needed to complete the points of a square is .

Question

Grid1st4

Renee plotted the following points in quadrant one on the coordinate grid:

Point A = (2,2)

Point B = (7,2)

Point C= (7,7)

Where in Quadrant one of the coordinate grid would Renee have to plot Point D so that the points form a square with vertices A, B, C, and D, and forms sides AB, BC, CD, and DA?

Answer

Once Points A,B, and C have been plotted the missing coordinates in order to form a square (all sides being equal), Point D would be (2,7). All coordinates (x,y) in Quadrant one will be positive integers.

Another approach is to calculate the distance between each point.

When Point A and Point B are plotted they form a horizontal line that goes from 2 to 7. That makes the distance .

When Point B and Point C are plotted they form a vertical line that goes from 2 to 7. That makes the distance .

Point C creates a vertical line with Point B. That makes the distance .

From here, we want to find a point that is horizontally 5 units from Point C and vertically 5 units from Point A. Thus (2,7) is the correct answer.

Question

Angela plotted points A through E on the coordinate plane shown below.

Points_grid

What are the coordinates for point B?

Answer

Begin at point (0, 0) in the bottom left hand corner of the coordinate plane. From there, count the number of spaces you move to the right to line up with Point B. This will be the first number in the ordered pair. Next, count the number of spaces to move up until you reach Point B. This will be the second number in your ordered pair.

You should have counted 2 spaces to the right and 8 spaces up. The ordered pair for Point B is (2, 8).

Which point is located at the ordered pair (6, 7)?

Answer

Start at point (0, 0) in the bottom, left corner of the the coordinate plane. From there, count right 6 spaces. This is the first number in the given ordered pair. From that point, count up 7 spaces. This is the second number in the given ordered pair.

By moving right 6 and up 7, you should have found Point C.
