Intro to the Coordinate Plane

What axis is horizontal?

• X

• Y

What is the orgin on a coordinate plane?

• The four outer corners

• The number of sections

• The point where the X and Y axes intersect

• The point(s) where the coordinates are

The second number of the ordered pair is called the?

• First coordinate

• The origin

• The axis

• Second coordinate

Where would (7,3) be in a corrdinate plane?

• The first quadrant

• The third quadrant

• The fourth quadrant

• The second quadrant

• The origin`

The point (8, 15) is in which quadrant?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

Timmy Tommy says that the point shown is (3,4). What is his error?

• This is a trick question. He's correct!

• He should have written the x coordinate first, then the y coordinate.

• He miscounted the y coordinate.

• He miscounted the x coordinate.

Timmy Tommy says that point H is located at (2, 4). What is his error?

• There is no error. He's correct.

• The x coordinate should be negative.

• The y coordinate should be negative.

• He miscounted the y coordinate.

The x axis stretches

• up and down

• left to right

The vertical number line in the coordinate plane is called what?

• y-axis

• quadrant

• origin

• x-axis

The axes divide the coordinate plane into four sections called what?

• ordered pairs

• quadrants

• origins

• coordinate plane
