Example Question #22 : Draw Polygons In The Coordinate Plane And Solve For Side Lengths: Ccss.Math.Content.6.G.A.3

Select the graph that displays the polygon created using the following coordinates:

\(\displaystyle (-1,12)\)

\(\displaystyle (-1,-5)\)

\(\displaystyle (-10,12)\)

\(\displaystyle (-10,-5)\)

Possible Answers:

 

Plot 38

 

Plot 40

 

Plot 39

 

Plot 37

Correct answer:

 

Plot 37

Explanation:

When we are given coordinate points, it's important to know the difference between the x-axis and the y-axis, and which order these points are given. The x-axis is the axis that runs left to right and the y-axis is the axis the runs up and down. When coordinate points are written, the x value goes first, followed by the y value \(\displaystyle (x,y)\).

Knowing this information, we can plot the points and use straight lines to connect them in a counter-clockwise or clockwise direction. The provided coordinate points should create the following graph:
