Can you figure out what shape will be drawn just by looking at the coordinates of the vertices?

(-4, 8) (-9, 3) (1, 3) (-4, -2)

In this lesson you will learn how to draw polygons by using given coordinates as vertices.

Let’s ReviewLet’s ReviewA coordinate plane consists of an x-axis and a y-axis. These axes split the plane up into

four quadrants.

Let’s ReviewA Common MistakeIt is sometimes forgotten that the first number in an ordered pair represents the location along the x-axis and the second number represents the location along the y-axis.

Let’s ReviewExtension Activities

Without looking at a coordinate plane, come up with ordered pairs that could be vertices for a rectangle. Then, plot the points and draw the rectangle. How did you know how many ordered pairs to create and where to put them?

Let’s ReviewExtension Activities

Without looking at a coordinate plane, come up with ordered pairs that could be vertices for an octagon. Then, plot the points and draw the shape. How did you know how many ordered pairs to create and where to put them?

Let’s ReviewQuick Quiz

1. Plot the ordered pairs. Then, draw the shape they create.
