Understanding Coordinate Plane Concepts

What is the horizontal axis on a coordinate plane called?

• w-axis

• x-axis

• z-axis

• y-axis

In which direction does the y-axis run?

• Bottom to top

• Left to right

• Top to bottom

• Diagonal

If a point has coordinates (2, 4), which axis do you look at first?

• w-axis

• x-axis

• z-axis

• y-axis

Where would the point (3, 7) be located on the coordinate plane?

• 3 units up, 7 units right

• 7 units up, 3 units right

• 3 units right, 7 units up

• 7 units right, 3 units up

What is the term for a four-sided shape on a coordinate plane?

• Pentagon

• Quadrilateral

• Triangle

• Hexagon

How would you write the coordinates for point A if it is 1 unit right and 1 unit up?

• (1, 0)

• (1, 2)

• (1, 1)

• (0, 1)

If point B is located at (3, 3), what does the first number represent?

• w-coordinate

• x-coordinate

• z-coordinate

• y-coordinate

In a table, which coordinate is typically listed first?

• y-coordinate

• z-coordinate

• x-coordinate

• w-coordinate

What is the ordered pair for a point located at 4 units right and 3 units up?

• (3, 0)

• (4, 0)

• (4, 3)

• (3, 4)

When converting a table to ordered pairs, what should you check first?

• The headings of the table

• The color of the table

• The size of the table

• The shape of the table
