“Illustrates the Rectangular Coordinate System and Its Uses”

I. Learning Competency
Illustrates the rectangular coordinate system and its uses (M8AL-le-1.)

II. Background Information for Learners

At the end of this topic, you are expected to illustrate the
rectangular coordinate system and its uses.

To better understand the topic, let us understand the definition of our

topic and its examples.

Rectangular Coordinate System or also known as a Cartesian Plane is

named after the French Mathematician Rene Descartes (1596 – 1650),
who is known as the “Father of Modern Mathematics”. It is composed
of two perpendicular number lines, typically called the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 and the
𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠, respectively, that meet at a point of origin (0, 0) and divide
the plane into four regions called quadrants which are numbered in
sequence as Quadrant I, Quadrant II, Quadrant III, and Quadrant IV
moving in a counter-clockwise direction starting from the upper right.

A(3,3)

origin
-x-axis

Figure 1
 The horizontal number line is called the 𝒙 − 𝒂𝒙𝒊𝒔.

The vertical number line is called the 𝒚 − 𝒂𝒙𝒊𝒔.

The point of intersection of the horizontal and vertical number lines is

called the origin.

Each point in the plane can be located using an ordered pair of

numbers (𝑥, 𝑦), where 𝑥 is the horizontal distance and 𝑦 is the vertical
distance of the point from the origin. The numbers in the ordered pair
are called coordinates. The 𝑥 − 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 of the coordinates (𝑥, 𝑦) of a
point is also known as the abscissa, while the 𝑦 − 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 is known as the
ordinate. The signs of the first and second coordinates of a point vary in
the four quadrants as indicated below.

If the x- coordinate is If both the x- and y-

negative, and the -y QuadrantII Quadrant I coordinates are
coordinate is positive, ( −, +) positive, then the point
then the point is in ( +, +) is in Quadrant I.
Quadrant II.

If the x- coordinate is
If both the x- and y- positive and the -y
coordinates are Quadrant II Quadrant VI coordinate is negative ,
negative,then the ( −, −) ( +, −) then thepoint is in
point is in Quadrant Quadrant V I.
III.

This means that you can easily tell which quadrant an ordered pair is
located by just simply looking at the signs of the coordinates.

There are also points which lie in 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦 − 𝑎𝑥𝑒𝑠. The points which

lie in the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 have coordinates (𝑥, 0) and the points which lie in the 𝑦 −

𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠 have coordinates (0, 𝑦), where 𝑥 and 𝑦 are real numbers. Let us explore

the following examples below.

Example 1:
Figure 2
 The points A(1,0), B(2,1), C(0,3), D(-4,2), E(-2,-3), and F(4,-4) can be plotted in
the Cartesian plane as shown in the illustration in Figure 2 where:

• point A is along the x-axis;

• point B is in Quadrant I;
• point C is along the y-axis;
• point D is in Quadrant II;
• point E is in Quadrant III; and
• point F is in Quadrant IV.
Remember: In naming the coordinates of a point, the first coordinate is the 𝑥
− 𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒 and second is 𝑦 − 𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑟𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑡𝑒. They can’t be interchanged.

Example 2. Use the Cartesian plane in Figure 3 to find the coordinates and
quadrant of the following points.
a) M b) A c) T d) H

M
H

Figure 3

Answer:
• Point M is in Quadrant II and the coordinates of the point M is (−𝟐,𝟑).
• Point A is in Quadrant III and the coordinates of the point A is (−𝟏, −𝟐).
• Point T is in Quadrant IV and the coordinates of the point T is (𝟐, −𝟒).
• Point H is in Quadrant I and the coordinates of the point H is (𝟑, 𝟐).

III. Directions: This learning sheet comprises a series of activities for

independent practice to solidify your understanding and skills of the
topic. You have to Complete all the activities for your own good and
illustrate the rectangular coordinate system and its uses. For your
questions and if there are unfamiliar concepts that are being written
here. You may also contact your teacher or you can use the internet as
reference if necessary.
IV. Activity Proper

ACTIVITY 1: Find my location. Use the Cartesian plane to find the

coordinates and quadrant of the following mobile legend heroes.
1. At what location is Miya located? What
quadrant? Mi
La ya
2. At what location is Layla located? What
yl
quadrant?
a
3. At what location is Pharsa located? What
Tigr
quadrant? Ph
eal
4. At what location is Tigreal located? What ars
Eud
quadrant? av
ora
5. At what location is Eudora located?
ACTIVITY 2: Treasure Hunting. This activity will enable you to correct
coordinates of the point. Answer the questions asked. Write your
answer in a separate sheet of paper.

Bronze
Gold

Silver
Blue Diamond

Sapphire Red Diamond

Jade
Jewels

1. Joey indicated that the Jewels can be found at coordinates (6,-4).

Do you agree with Joey? Why or why not?

2. Angelo insisted that the Blue Diamond can be found at quadrant III.

Do you agree with Angelo? Why?

3. Karen insisted that the Gold can be found at Quadrant I. Is Karen

correct?
 Why?
4. Samantha reported that the Jade can be seen at coordinates (-9,

1). Do you agree with Samantha? Why?

5. King Luffy told his colleague that the silver can be found at

coordinates (-5, -7)

ACTIVITY 3: WHO AM I?

This activity will enable you to plot the points of LEVEL UP in the
Cartesian Plane given its coordinates. Plot the following points in the
Cartesian Plane then connect all points to get its shape. Write your
