Explain Coordinates on a Plane

Where is Point A on the coordinate plane?

• (7,4)

• (1,3)

• (9,3)

• (4,7)

What is the ordered pair for point A?

• ( 2, 0)

• ( 0 , 2)

• (0, -2)

• (-2,0)

In the coordinate points (2,7) the 2 represents

• y

• origin

• x

• point

What is the ordered pair?

• (8, 2)

• (2,7)

• (2,8)

• (8,3)

What error did the student make when plotting the point (3, 4) according to the picture?

• The student moved left along the x-axis when he should have moved right

• The student plotted the y-coordinate in place of the x-coordinate

• The student didn't make a mistake

• Both Options 1 and 2

The coordinate plane shows the distance traveled by an Amtrak Train over the course of 8 hours.

What does the point (6, 300) represent?

• Points on the graph

• 6 miles in 300 hours

• The train is driving 300 miles per hour

• The train travelled 300 miles in 6 hours

How is graphing (0,9) different from graphing (9,0)?

• (0,9) is on the y-axis and (9,0) is on the x-axis

• (0,9) moves right and (9,0) moves up

• (0,9) is 9 spaces above the origin and (9,0) is 9 spaces to the right of the origin

• (0,9) and (9,0) are the same point

What is at (1,2)?

• the moon

• the sun

• a blue planet

• a robot

Kiana kept track of the number of books she read during the school year. She plotted the information on a coordinate grid. If her pattern of reading continues, how many books will she have read at the end of 16 weeks?

• 11 books

• 13 books

• 14 books

• 16 books

The ordered pair that represents the intersection of the x-axis and the y-axis is called the ____________.

• intersection

• x-coordinate

• origin

• home base
