Understanding the Cartesian Plane

Daniel Carrión introduces the Cartesian plane, explaining its components such as the x-axis, y-axis, and origin. He describes how to locate points using coordinates, providing examples with points A, B, C, and D. The video concludes with exercises for viewers to practice and a call to action to engage with the content.

What are the two main components of the Cartesian Plane?

• Two vertical lines

• Two horizontal lines

• Two diagonal lines

• One horizontal and one vertical line

What is the horizontal axis in the Cartesian Plane called?

• Axis of symmetry

• Axis of coordinates

• Axis of abscissas

• Axis of ordinates

Where are the positive numbers located on the vertical axis?

• To the right of the origin

• To the left of the origin

• Below the origin

• Above the origin

How are coordinates expressed in the Cartesian Plane?

• (z, y)

• (x, z)

• (x, y)

• (y, x)

Which axis does the first number in a coordinate pair correspond to?

• Vertical axis

• None of the above

• Horizontal axis

• Diagonal axis

What are the coordinates of point A in the example?

• (-8, -3)

• (4, 3)

• (3, 4)

• (7, -6)

How do you locate a point on the Cartesian Plane?

• By finding the intersection of two imaginary lines

• By drawing a circle

• By measuring the distance from the origin

• By using a protractor

What are the coordinates of point B in the example?

• (-6, 5)

• (4, 3)

• (7, -6)

• (-8, -3)

What are the coordinates of point C in the example?

• (4, 3)

• (-6, 5)

• (7, -6)

• (-8, -3)
