Plotting Points on a Coordinate Plane: Quadrant 1 Essentials

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to plot points on a coordinate plane, focusing on quadrant one with positive numbers. He reviews the x-axis and y-axis, and demonstrates plotting points through six examples, emphasizing the importance of the order of coordinates. The video concludes with a summary of the key concepts covered.

Which quadrant are we working in if we're only using positive numbers?

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant I

What axis is horizontal and goes side to side?

• z-axis

• x-axis

• None of the above

• y-axis

What does the y-coordinate indicate?

• Horizontal movement

• Circular movement

• Vertical movement

• Diagonal movement

What is the starting point called in a coordinate plane?

• The axis

• The center

• The base

• The origin

In the ordered pair (5,8), what does 5 represent?

• y-coordinate

• z-coordinate

• None of the above

• x-coordinate

How does the point (8,5) differ from (5,8)?

• It's on a different plane

• It's the same point

• Order of coordinates is reversed

• It's at a higher elevation

How do you plot the point (4,10)?

• Down 10, left 4

• Down 4, left 10

• Over 10, up 4

• Over 4, up 10

What happens when the x-coordinate is 0?

• The point is on the x-axis

• The point cannot be plotted

• The point is at the origin

• The point is on the y-axis

What is crucial to remember about plotting points?

• The order doesn't matter

• The x-coordinate comes first

• The y-coordinate comes first

• Only negative numbers are used

Where is the point (3,0) located?

• At the origin

• On the x-axis

• On the y-axis

• Cannot be determined
