The table and graph below represent 4 trees in a forest. use the information to answer questions 1-4.
tree point on graph
aspen a

birch b

cedar c

duck oak d

1: where is the birch tree located?
2: what is the x-coordinate for the cedar tree?
3: write a true statement about the aspen and duck oak trees.
4: which tree is closest to (1,4)?

When we look at coordinate grids, the x value runs horizontally. The y value runs vertically. A coordinate point is written as (x,y). We can use this information to help us solve problems 1 - 4 .

1. The Birch tree (point B) is located at point (2,3).

2. The x coordinate for the Cedar tree (point C) is (5).

3. The Aspen tree (point A) and the Duck Oak tree (point D) both have the same y coordinate of (7).

4. The Birch tree (point B) is located closest to point (1,4).
