Example Question #121 : Geometry

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

\(\displaystyle (13,4)\)

\(\displaystyle (13,-4)\)

\(\displaystyle (-2,4)\)

\(\displaystyle (-2,-4)\)

Possible Answers:

 

Plot 28

 

Plot 25

 

Plot 27

 

Plot 26

Correct answer:

 

Plot 25

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:
