Coordinate Plane & Plotting Points Review

Coordinate Plane

Plotting Points Review

X-Axis and Y-Axis

The x-axis moves left to right, or horizontal.

The y-axis moves up and down, or vertical.

The origin (0, 0) is where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

In an ordered pair, the x-coordinate is first and the y-coordinate is second, like this: (x,y)

Multiple Choice

What is an ordered pair?

• a set of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane

• the vertical number line

• a number that corresponds to a number on the y-axis

• a point where the numbers intersect

Multiple Choice

In an ordered pair ( __ , __) which axis comes first?

• y

• x

Multiple Choice

What is the origin?

• The point furthest away from the center of the coordinate plane

• The four regions of a coordinate plane

• the x-axis

• Where the x-axis and y-axis intersect

Multiple Choice

The horizontal number line (the line that moves left to right) is called the _____________?

• y-axis

• y-coordinate

• x-axis

• x-coordinate

Multiple Choice

The vertical number line (the line that moves up and down) is called the __________?

• x-coordinate

• x-axis

• y-axis

• y-coordinate

Example: The taco is at the point (5, 6)

All coordinates start with the x-axis, then the y-axis, like this: (x, y)

Example: The soda is at the point (3, -1)

All coordinates start with the x-axis, then the y-axis, like this: (x, y)

Multiple Choice

• -4, 2

• 4, -2

• -2, 4

• 4, 4

• H

• G

• A

• J

Multiple Choice

Ordered pair (3, 0) would lead me to which point?

• G

• E

• F

• A

Multiple Choice

What is the ordered pair for point E?

• 3, 0

• 0,4

• 0, -3

Quadrants

The coordinate plane has four regions called quadrants.

Quadrants are numbered in a counter-clockwise direction, starting with Quadrant I

Quadrants are labeled with Roman numerals:
I means 1 II means 2
III means 3 IV means 4

Multiple Choice

What is a quadrant?

• The point where the y and x axis intersect

• One of the four regions of a coordinate plane

• a point on the y-axis

• a point on the x-axis

Multiple Choice

• clockwise

• counterclockwise

Multiple Choice

What quadrant would I expect to find point B?

• 4

• 3

• 2

• x-axis

Multiple Choice

• 4, 2

• -4, -4

• 2, -4

Multiple Choice

Which quadrant or axis would I find point A?

• x-axis

• y-axis

• quadrant 1

• quadrant 2

Multiple Choice
