Introduction to Graph Planes

The point where x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the_____

• origin

• ordinate

• abscissa

• ordered pair

In which of the following quadrant does the point P(6, 3) lie?

• I

• II

• III

• IV

In which of the following quadrant does the point P(-3 , -3) lie?

• I

• II

• III

• IV

The equation representing the y - axis is:____

• x = 0

• y = 0

• y = a (a ≠ 0)

• x = b (b ≠ 0)

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

• Up 4, left 12

• Right 4, up 12

• Down 4, left 12

• Right 4, down 12

Match the following ordered pairs with the quadrant where they can be found.

• Quadrant IV

• (4,3)

• Quadrant III

• (-9,7)

• Quadrant II

• (8,-5)

• Quadrant I

• (-5,-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

When plotting the point, (-4, 3), which describes the movement along the x-axis and y-axis in the correct order? 

• 4 units right then 3 units up

• 4 units down then 3 units left

• 4 units left then 3 units up

• 4 units up then 4 units right

If the first number in an ordered pair is -5, you will go​ (a)  

• left

• right

• up

• down

• (5 , -1)
• (-1 , 5)
• (5 , 1)
• (1 , 5)
