Practice Solutions

Identify the coordinate pairs for the marked points that form the letter “A” on the coordinate plane.

$(- 5, - 6), (- 2, 1), (1, - 6), (0, - 3), (- 4, - 3)$

Determine the distance between the connected horizontal points in the letter “A.”

$(- 4, - 3)$ to $(0, - 3)$ has a distance of 4 units

Using the coordinate plane with “A” on it, finish the message by completing items 3, 4, and 5. Graph the points in order. Connect the points with line segments until you reach the word STOP. Each step is a separate figure, so the message will have four images including the “A”.

$(- 8, 7) (- 8, 2) (- 7, 0) (- 5, 0) (- 4, 2) (- 4, 7)$
STOP

$(2, 0) (2, 7) (6, 7) (7, 6) (7, 5) (6, 4) (7, 0)$
STOP

$(2, 4) (6, 4)$
STOP

$(6, - 6) (8, 0) (10, - 6) (5, - 2) (10, - 2) (6, - 6)$
STOP
