M6 6.MG.3- Coordinate Plane

Graph the ordered pair (0, 5) on the coordinate plane. Where is this point located?

• On the x-axis

• On the y-axis

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

Answer explanation

The ordered pair (0, 5) has an x-coordinate of 0 and a y-coordinate of 5. This means it is located on the y-axis, where all points have an x-coordinate of 0. Therefore, the correct answer is 'On the y-axis'.

Identify the ordered pair represented by the point located at Quadrant III, 4 units left of the origin and 3 units down.

• (4, 3)

• (-4, -3)

• (3, -4)

• (-3, 4)

Answer explanation

The point is in Quadrant III, meaning both coordinates are negative. Moving 4 units left of the origin gives -4 for the x-coordinate, and moving 3 units down gives -3 for the y-coordinate. Thus, the ordered pair is (-4, -3).

Graph the ordered pair (-3, 0) on the coordinate plane. Where is this point located?

• On the x-axis

• On the y-axis

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

Answer explanation

The ordered pair (-3, 0) has an x-coordinate of -3 and a y-coordinate of 0. This means it lies on the x-axis, where all points have a y-coordinate of 0. Therefore, the correct answer is 'On the x-axis'.

Identify the ordered pair represented by the point located at Quadrant I, 2 units right of the origin and 5 units up.

• (2, 5)

• (-2, 5)

• (5, 2)

• (-5, -2)

Answer explanation

The point is in Quadrant I, meaning both coordinates are positive. It is 2 units right (x = 2) and 5 units up (y = 5) from the origin, resulting in the ordered pair (2, 5), which is the correct answer.

Identify the ordered pair represented by the point located at Quadrant IV, 6 units right of the origin and 2 units down.

• (6, -2)

• (-2, 6)

• (-6, 2)

• (2, -6)

Answer explanation

The point is in Quadrant IV, meaning x is positive and y is negative. It is 6 units right (x=6) and 2 units down (y=-2), resulting in the ordered pair (6, -2). Thus, the correct answer is (6, -2).

Which letter matches the coordinate (4, -6)?

• G

• Z

• K

• None of the above

Answer explanation

The coordinate (4, -6) corresponds to the letter Z in a standard grid where letters are assigned based on their position. Thus, the correct answer is Z.

Where is point E located?

• ( 2, 0 )

• ( 2 , 2 )

• ( 0 , 2 )

• ( 0 , 0 )

Answer explanation

Point E is located at (0, 2), which corresponds to the coordinates where the x-value is 0 and the y-value is 2. This matches the correct answer choice among the options provided.

What is (0,0) called?

• The center

• The X axis

• The Origin

• The Y axis

Answer explanation

(0,0) is called the Origin because it is the point where the X and Y axes intersect in a Cartesian coordinate system, representing the starting point for all coordinates.

Find the distance between the two ordered pairs.

• 5

• 6

• 7

• 10

Answer explanation

To find the distance between two ordered pairs you can count how far apart they are. The correct answer is 6.
