Polygons in the Coordinate Plane Part I
Introduction

A coordinate plane is a grid formed by two perpendicular number lines, the x-axis and the y-axis, that intersect at the origin. Any point on the plane is located...

Your teacher asks you to draw a triangle, a polygon, using three points: (2, 1), (6, 1), and (4, 5).

These points are called coordinates, showing positions on the coordinate plane. From the origin, the first number tells how far to move horizontally, and the second tells how far to move vertically.

The graph sheet is a coordinate pl...
