The questions

  1. Plot the point (3, 4) on the graph.
  2. Plot the point (-2, 5) on the graph.
  3. Plot the point (0, -3) on the graph.
  4. Plot the point (-4, -1) on the graph.
  5. Plot the point (5, 0) on the graph.
  6. Plot the point (4, -3) on the graph.
  7. Plot the point (-5, 2) on the graph.
  8. Plot the point (2, 0) on the graph.
  9. Plot the point (-1, -4) on the graph.
  10. A park map is drawn on a coordinate grid where one unit stands for 10 m. The gate is at (-3, 4) and the fountain is at (5, -2). A path runs east-west and then north-south along the grid lines. How far is it from the gate to the fountain along that path, in metres?
  11. In which quadrant does the plotted point lie?
  12. What is the y-coordinate of the plotted point?
