Herndon Middle SchoolAlgebra Honors Summer AssignmentName:P. Graphing on the Coordinate PlaneThe first value in an (x, y) ordered pair represents the distance horizontally from zero. If the value is positive,start at the origin (0, 0) and count to the right. If the value is negative, count to the left.The second value in an (x, y) ordered pair represents the distance vertically from zero. If the value is positive,start at the origin (0, 0) and count up from zero. If the value is negative, count down.Plot and label each of the (x, y) ordered pairs on the coordinate plane.A (2, 2)F (-2, 7)K (6, 7)P (6, -2)U (-7, -6)B (1, -2)G (5, -2)L (-3, -2)Q (-5, -4)V (-1, -2)C (-3, -6)H (6, -6)M (-7, -2)R (6, 2)W (-1, -6)D (-5, -1)I (3, -6)N (-2, 2)S (3, -2)X (-5, -6)E (-6, 2)J (-6, 7)O (2, 7)T (1, -6)Y (-7, -4)Z (4, -6)Connect the following sets of points by drawing a line segment between the coordinates.AR will connect points A(2, 2) and R(6, 2).The line segments will form letters thatspell a JEWhew!
