Understanding the Cartesian Plane

What are the names of the two axes in the Cartesian plane?

• north-axis and south-axis

• a-axis and b-axis

• x-axis and y-axis

• horizontal-axis and vertical-axis

If a point is located at (3, -2), which quadrant is it in?

• Fourth quadrant

• Third quadrant

• First quadrant

• Second quadrant

How do you plot the point (-4, 5) on the Cartesian plane?

• Plot the point by moving 4 units right and 5 units down from the origin.

• Plot the point (5, -4) by moving 5 units left and 4 units up from the origin.

• Plot the point (-4, -5) by moving 4 units left and 5 units down from the origin.

• Plot the point (-4, 5) by moving 4 units left and 5 units up from the origin.

What is the coordinate of the origin in the Cartesian plane?

• (1, 1)

• (-1, -1)

• (0, 0)

• (0, 1)

If you move 2 units to the right and 3 units up from the point (1, 1), what are the new coordinates?

• (3, 4)

• (2, 4)

• (1, 3)

• (3, 1)
