GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2
Use the distributive property to simplify or write an equivalent expression.

GUIDED PRACTICE for Examples 1 and 2
Use the distributive property to simplify or write an equivalent expression.
1. 2(w – 8)
= 2w – (2)(8)
= 2w – 16
– 8(f + 2 + 3)2.
= -8f + (-8)(2) + (-8)(3)
= -8f + -16 + -24
= -8f + -40

Imagine the top surface of your desk stretching in every direction.
If it continued to spread , it would go right through your
neighbor . . .
. . . and then through the classroom walls . . .
Then you would have a plane.
In mathematics, a plane is a flat surface that goes on forever in
every direction.
We often use the coordinate plane.
The coordinate plane is divided by two number lines. One is
horizontal, like the number line you already know.
-5 50 10-10
The other is vertical, with up being the positive direction and
down being the negative direction.
-5 50 10-10

The coordinate plane is filled with points . . .
. . . infinitely many points.
And somewhere among all those points is the point we call the
origin.
The origin is the point where the
two number lines meet.
-5 50 10-10

The two number lines have special
names.
The horizontal number line is
called the x-axis.
x-5 50 10-10

The vertical number line is
called the y-axis.

To study a point, we need to know where to find it. So we give it
coordinates.
Coordinates are like an address. They tell you how you can get to a
point if you start at the origin.
yCoordinates are always written in parentheses, with the x-value first.
yx,

yCoordinates written in
parentheses are called an
ordered pair.

Consider the point which has coordinates,
(4, -2)
-5 50 10-10

The first number tells you how far
to move to the side.
-5 50 10-10

So the 4 in (4, -2) says we need to move 4 units to
the right.
Remember to start at the origin.
-5 50 10-10

The second number tells you how far to move
up or down.
-5 50 10-10

The –2 in (4, -2) tells you to move down two units.

-5 50 10-10

To get to the origin from the origin, we don’t
move at all.
0,0
So the origin is designated by the ordered pair,
(0, 0)

The two number lines divide the plane into four
regions.
Quadrants are labeled with
Roman Numerals.
We call the regions
quadrants.
-5 50 10-10

-5
In Quadrant I, all numbers are
positive.
In Quadrant II, x-values are negative, while y-values are
positive.
In Quadrant III, x- and y-values are both negative.
In Quadrant IV, x-values are positive and y-values are
negative.

To plot a point
• Start at the origin (0,0)
• Go left or right along the x-axis
• Go up or down along the y-axis
Give the coordinates of each point:
Give the coordinates of each point:

EXAMPLE 3 Solve a Multi-Step Problem
Archaeology
On a field trip, students are exploring an archaeological site. They rope off a region to explore as shown. Identify the shape of the region and find its perimeter. The units on the scale are feet.
EXAMPLE 3 Solve a Multi-Step Problem
SOLUTION
STEP 1 Notice that points A, B, C, and D form a rectangle. Find the coordinates of the vertices.
STEP 2 Find the horizontal distance from A to B to find the length l.
x-coordinate of Bx-coordinate of A=l –
= –30 – 30 –60= = 60
A(–30, 20), B(30, 20), C(30, –20), D (–30, –20)
EXAMPLE 3 Solve a Multi-Step Problem
STEP 3 Find the vertical distance from A to D to find the width w.
STEP 4 Find the perimeter:
y-coordinate of Dy-coordinate of A=w –
= 20 – (–20) 40= = 40
2l + 2w = 2(60) + 2(40) = 200.
ANSWER
The region’s perimeter is 200 units 10 feet per unit = 2000 feet.
