How much do I know about the coordinate plane?

The vertical axis is called the:

• Up and down line

• x axis

• y axis

• answer not shown.

The origin is (select all that apply).

• A location on a coordinate plane.

• A coordinate.

• (0, 0)

• Where the axes intersect (cross).

What is a coordinate?

• A location on the map.

• (x, y)

• You can think of it like an address.

• a graph.

The axes divide the coordinate plane into four sections called what? 

• ordered pairs
• origins
• quadrants
• coordinate plane

The coordinate plane is divided by a horizontal number line called what? 

• y-axis
• origin
• x-axis
• quadrant

Which quadrant contains the point named by (2, 5)?

• Quadrant I
• Quadrant II
• Quadrant III
• Quadrant IV

In which quadrant is the following point?
(-3, 12)

• Quadrant I
• Quadrant II
• Quadrant III
• Quadrant IV

Which letter matches the coordinate (4, -6)?

• G
• Z
• K
• None of the above

What error did the student make when plotting the point (3, 4) according to the picture?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

• The student moved left along the x-axis when he should have moved right
• The student plotted the y-coordinate in place of the x-coordinate
• The student didn't make a mistake
• Both Options 1 and 2

If you were to plot the point (4, -12) what would be the correct method?

• Up 4, left 12
• Right 4, up 12
• Down 4, left 12
• Right 4, down 12
