Plotting Points

How do you plot the point (-2, -6)?

• Start at the origin (0, 0), move left 2 units (to -2 on the x-axis), then move down 6 units (to -6 on the y-axis).

• Start at the origin (0, 0), move right 2 units (to 2 on the x-axis), then move up 6 units (to 6 on the y-axis).

• Start at the origin (0, 0), move left 2 units (to -2 on the x-axis), then move up 6 units (to 6 on the y-axis).

• Start at the origin (0, 0), move right 2 units (to 2 on the x-axis), then move down 6 units (to -6 on the y-axis).

What is a coordinate point?

• A single number that represents a location on a number line.

• A pair of numbers that define a specific location on a Cartesian plane, represented as (x, y).

• A point that can only be defined in three-dimensional space.

• A method of measuring distances between two points.

What does it mean to move 'left' on a Cartesian plane?

• Increasing the x-coordinate value.

• Decreasing the x-coordinate value.

• Increasing the y-coordinate value.

• Decreasing the y-coordinate value.

How do you plot the point (-1, 1)?

• Start at the origin (0, 0), move left 1 unit (to -1 on the x-axis), then move up 1 unit (to 1 on the y-axis).

• Start at the origin (0, 0), move right 1 unit (to 1 on the x-axis), then move down 1 unit (to -1 on the y-axis).

• Start at the origin (0, 0), move left 1 unit (to -1 on the x-axis), then move down 1 unit (to -1 on the y-axis).

• Start at the origin (0, 0), move right 1 unit (to 1 on the x-axis), then move up 1 unit (to 1 on the y-axis).

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

• The vertical position on the Cartesian plane, indicating how far to move up or down from the origin.

• The first number (x) represents the horizontal position on the Cartesian plane, indicating how far to move left or right from the origin.

• The distance from the origin to the point in the coordinate system.

• The angle of the line formed by the coordinate pair with respect to the x-axis.

What is the ordered pair for point H?

• (1, 2)

• (2, 1)

• (0, 0)

• (1, 1)

How do you identify a point in the fourth quadrant?

• A point in the fourth quadrant has a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate.

• A point in the fourth quadrant has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate.

• A point in the fourth quadrant has both coordinates positive.

• A point in the fourth quadrant has both coordinates negative.

What is the significance of the origin in a Cartesian plane?

• The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.

• The origin is the point where the x-axis meets the positive y-axis only.

• The origin is the point (1, 1) that represents the maximum value in a Cartesian plane.

• The origin is the point (0, 0) that indicates the highest point in a graph.

What point is located at (3, -2)?

• Point A

• Point B

• Point C

• Point D

What does it mean to move 'down' on a Cartesian plane?

• Increasing the x-coordinate value.

• Decreasing the y-coordinate value.

• Increasing the y-coordinate value.

• Decreasing the x-coordinate value.
