Lines on Coordinate Planes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a tool for students to practice plotting points and understanding the Cartesian coordinate system. It contains four exercises, each with a pair of ordered pairs that students need to plot on the provided coordinate grids. After plotting the points, students are expected to draw a line segment connecting them and then calculate and record the length of that segment.

The worksheet is designed to teach students how to determine the distance between two points on a coordinate grid. By plotting both positive and negative values, students are encouraged to understand how the coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants. It also aims to strengthen their ability to recognize and work with ordered pairs and apply the concept of distance in a two-dimensional space. Ultimately, the worksheet reinforces critical thinking and application of geometric principles in a practical exercise.
