. A square garden has the end points listed below. Plot and label these points on the grid: (1 point)

a. A (-7, 6)
b. B (-2, -6)
c. C (10, -1)
d. D (5, 11)

To plot the points A, B, C, and D on a coordinate grid, you can follow these steps:

  1. Draw the Coordinate Axes: Draw a horizontal line for the x-axis and a vertical line for the y-axis, creating a grid.

  2. Label the Axes: Mark the axes with appropriate numbers. Make sure to include negative and positive values, since your points have both.

  3. Plot the Points:

    • Point A (-7, 6): Start from the origin (0,0), move 7 units left on the x-axis and 6 units up on the y-axis. Place a point there and label it A.
    • Point B (-2, -6): From the origin, move 2 units left on the x-axis and 6 units down on the y-axis. Place a point there and label it B.
    • Point C (10, -1): From the origin, move 10 units right on the x-axis and 1 unit down on the y-axis. Place a point there and label it C.
    • Point D (5, 11): From the origin, move 5 units right on the x-axis and 11 units up on the y-axis. Place a point there and label it D.

  4. Label the Points: Mark each point clearly with its corresponding letter (A, B, C, D).

If you were to visualize or draft a grid, after plotting the points, it would look like this (this is a verbal representation, as I can't create images directly):

    |                          D(5,11)
    |        
    |                          
    |           * A(-7,6)                
    |______________________________
    |      B(-2,-6)        
    |    
    |       
    |      C(10,-1)

Make sure to adjust the scale of your grid appropriately, as point A is far to the left, and point C is far to the right.
