Coordinates: Plotting Simple Shapes

In this worksheet, plot points on a set of x and y-coordinate axes and join the points with lines, forming simple shapes.

Be familiar with the following shapes:

Isosceles Triangle, Right-angled Triangle, Square, Rectangle, Parallelogram.

Remember that the x-coordinate is plotted before the y-coordinate.

Example

Join (0, 0) to (2, 0).

Join (2, 0) to (1, -3).

Join (1, -3) to (-1, -3).

Join (-1, -3) to (0, 0).

Which shape has been drawn?

Answer

We have drawn a Parallelogram.
