Coordinate Plan Practice

A student graphs a point that is represented by the ordered pair (3, 0). In this ordered pair, what does the number 3 indicate?

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

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

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

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

• 
• 
• 
• 

Name the ordered pair for point C.

• (3,4)

• (4,3)

• (3,7)

• (4,7)

• S

• T

Point A is located at (7, 2) on a coordinate grid. What is (7, 2) called?

• Origin

• Ordered Pair

• Perpendicular Point

• Axis

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

• (5, 5)

• (5, 0)

• (0, 0)

• (0, 5)

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 move should Yvonne do 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 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.

What is the horizontal line from the origin called?

• Ordered Pair

• Origin

• X-axis

• Y-axis
