Write the coordinates of each point.

Coordinate plane, origin O, horizontal axis negative 7 through 7 by ones, vertical axis negative 5 through 5 by ones. Point A is 4 units to the right of the origin and 3 units up. Point B is 6 units down from point A. Point C is 1 unit to the left and 2 units down from point B. Point D is 7 units to the left and 2 units up from point C. Point E is 2 units to the left and 6 units up from point D.

  

Answer these questions for each pair of points.

• How are the coordinates the same? How are they different?
• How far away are they from the -axis? To the left or to the right of it?
• How far away are they from the -axis? Above or below it?

Point has the same coordinates as point , except its -coordinate has the opposite sign.

1. Plot point in the coordinate plane, and label it with its coordinates.
2. How far away are and from the -axis?

Point has the same coordinates as point , except its -coordinate has the opposite sign.
