How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

The coordinate plane is divided by a horizontal number line called ______________

• x axis

• y axis

• origin

• quadrant

Answer explanation

The x-axis is the number line that runs left to right. The x-axis is a horizontal number line.

The coordinate plane is divided by a vertical number line called __________________

• x axis

• y axis

• origin

• quadrant

Answer explanation

The y-axis is the number line that runs up and down. The y-axis is a vertical number line.

The coordinates for the origin in the coordinate plane are________

• (3,8)

• (0,0)

• (g,y)

• (1,1)

Answer explanation

(0,0) or the origin, is always our starting point when we plot coordinates on a coordinate plane.

How do you correctly write an ordered pair?

• x,y

• (x,y)

• (y,x)

• (a,b)

Answer explanation

Coordinates are written as (x,y) because to plot them we always move along the x-axis (left/right) first, then along the y-axis (up/down) second.

What is the correct coordinate for letter A?

• (2,2)

• (2,-2)

• (2,4)

• (0,0)

Answer explanation

To reach coordinate A, we must move two times to the right and two times down. The coordinate is (2, -2)

What is the coordinate for C?

• (2,4)

• (4,2)

• (2,5)

Answer explanation

To reach coordinate C, we must move 2 times to the right and 4 times up. The coordinate for C is (2,4)
