Coordinate Graphing

The ordered pairs below represent three vertices of a trapezoid:

(2, 1), (4, 4), (4, 6)

Which ordered pair could represent the location of the fourth vertex of the trapezoid?

• (4, 5)

• (10, 9)

• (2, 9)

• (4, 1)

The ordered pairs below represent three vertices of a rhombus:

(4, 9), (6, 7), (4,5)

Which ordered pair could represent the fourth vertex of this rhombus?

• (7, 2)

• (9, 7)

• (2, 9)

• (2, 7)

A student will graph the point (5, 3) on a coordinate grid. Which steps can the student take in order to graph the point correctly?

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units up. Move 3 units right. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units right. Move 3 units right. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units up. Move 3 units up. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units right. Move 3 units up. Graph the point.

Yvonne is using a coordinate grid for the first time. She wants to find the location of the ordered pair (3, 7) on the grid.

Starting at the origin, which movement should Yvonne make first?

• Move right along the x-axis to 3

• Move up along the y-axis to 3

• Move right along the y-axis to 7

• Move up along the x-axis to 7

A student graphs a point represented by the ordered pair (3, 0). What does the number 3 indicate in this ordered pair?

• The point is 3 units above 0 on the x-axis

• The point is 3 units above 0 on the y-axis

• The point is 3 units to the right of 0 on the y-axis

• The point is 3 units to the right of 0 on the x-axis

What are the coordinates of the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect on a coordinate plane?

• (5, 5)

• (5, 0)

• (0, 5)

• (0, 0)

Which statement is NOT true about a coordinate grid?

• The vertical number line is the y-axis.

• In a coordinate grid, the x-axis and the y-axis are perpendicular to each other.

• The x-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair.

• The origin is the intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis.

(3, 4) is an example of...

• Numbers in parentheses

• An ordered pair

• Labels

• Fractions

The __ - axis is the vertical axis on the coordinate plane.

• X

• Y

• Z

• None of the above

On the coordinate plane, which line represents the x-axis?

• Horizontal Line (Side to Side)

• Vertical Line (Up and Down)
