Question

The table and graph below represent 4 trees in a forest. Use the information to answer questions 1-4.

Tree Point on Graph
Aspen A

Birch B

Cedar C

Duck Oak D

1: Where is the Birch tree located?
2: What is the x-coordinate for the Cedar tree?
3: Write a true statement about the Aspen and Duck Oak Trees.
4: Which tree is closest to (1,4)?

Answer 1

When we look at coordinate grids, the x value runs horizontally. The y value runs vertically. A coordinate point is written as (x,y). We can use this information to help us solve problems 1 - 4 .

1. The Birch tree (point B) is located at point (2,3).

2. The x coordinate for the Cedar tree (point C) is (5).

3. The Aspen tree (point A) and the Duck Oak tree (point D) both have the same y coordinate of (7).

4. The Birch tree (point B) is located closest to point (1,4).
