Coordinate Plane and Number Patterns

In a coordinate plane, what is the point (0, 0) known as?

• Origin

• x-axis

• x-coordinate

• y-coordinate

Use the patterns below to answer the question.  

Pattern 1: Add 6 with starting number 0.

Pattern 2: Add 4 with starting number 0.

What are the first three coordinates?

• (0, 0), (4, 6), (8, 12)

• (6, 4), (10, 8), (16,14)

• (0, 0), (6, 4), (10, 8)

• (0, 0), (6, 4), (12, 8)

Use the patterns provided in the table below to determine the sixth ordered pair.

• (12, 20)

• (18, 30)

• (15, 25)

• (9, 15)

The coordinate plane shows the pattern of the x-axis representing the rule add 2 and the y-axis representing the rule add 3. Use the rules to determine the next point on the coordinate grid.

• A. (8, 9)

• B. (6, 12)

• C. (8, 12)

• D. (12, 8)
