AQA GCSE · Question 04.1 · Geometry and Measures
Points A, B and C are plotted on a grid. Write down the coordinates of C.
Points A, B and C are plotted on a grid. Write down the coordinates of C.
How to approach this question
1. Locate point C on the grid.
2. Read the x-coordinate by looking down to the x-axis. This is the first number in the coordinate pair.
3. Read the y-coordinate by looking across to the y-axis. This is the second number in the coordinate pair.
4. Write the coordinates in the format (x, y).
Full Answer
To find the coordinates of point C, we start at the origin (0,0).
First, we move along the x-axis (horizontally). Point C is 2 units to the right, so the x-coordinate is 2.
Then, we move parallel to the y-axis (vertically). Point C is 2 units down, so the y-coordinate is -2.
The coordinates are written as (x, y), so the coordinates of C are (2, -2).
Common mistakes
✗ Writing the coordinates in the wrong order, e.g., (-2, 2).
✗ Getting the signs wrong, e.g., (2, 2) or (-2, -2).
