Example Question #81 : How To Find A Rectangle On A Coordinate Plane

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

\(\displaystyle (8,-10)\)

\(\displaystyle (8,-9)\)

\(\displaystyle (9,-10)\)

\(\displaystyle (9,-9)\)

Possible Answers:

 

Plot 11

 

Plot 10

 

Plot 12

 

Plot 9

Correct answer:

 

Plot 9

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:
