### Interactive Coordinate Plotting and Mathematical Problem Solving

#### Coordinate Plot Activity
**Instruction:** Plot the points below and fill in the blanks with the correct coordinates.

**Graph Description:**
A grid is provided with an x-axis and y-axis. Points are marked with letters.

- The x-axis and y-axis are divided into units, forming a Cartesian plane.

**Coordinates to Identify:**
- A: (6, 0)
- B: _____ (Point B is at (4.5, 5))
- C: (-3, 5)
- D: _____ (Point D is at (-5.5, 0))
- E: (-3, -5)
- F: _____ (Point F is at (4.5, -5))

**Instruction:** Connect the dots in alphabetical order. What’s the name of the shape they form?

#### Solving Equations and Inequalities
**Instruction:** Solve the below equations and inequalities for the given variable.

1. \(8 - 6n = -64\)
2. \(10(x - 5) = -10\)
3. \(-5 = 1 - 8n + 5n\)
4. \(1 - 2x + 2 < -1\)

#### Conversion and Discount Calculation

**Instruction:** In your own words, explain how to convert a percentage into a decimal.

**Instruction:** If a T-shirt costs $15 and you have a coupon for 25% off, how much will the final cost of the T-shirt be? (don’t include tax)

**Explanation:** To convert a percentage into a decimal, divide the percentage by 100. For example, 25% becomes 0.25.

**Calculation:** 
1. Determine the discount amount: $15 × 0.25 = $3.75.
2. Subtract the discount from the original price: $15 - $3.75 = $11.25.
3. The final cost of the T-shirt is $11.25.

This activity encourages understanding of coordinates, solving algebraic equations, and performing basic percentage calculations. It is designed to enhance both mathematical skills and practical application in real-world scenarios.
