Coordinate planes 5.8A/B

A student graphs a point that is represented by the ordered pair (3, 0). In this ordered pair, what does the number 3 indicate?

• The point is 3 units above 0 on the x-axis.

• The point is 3 units above 0 on the y-axis.

• The point is 3 units to the right of the 0 on the y-axis.

• The point is 3 units to the right of the 0 on the x-axis.

What is the horizontal axis called?

• y-axis

• x-axis

• origin

• (0,0)

What is the vertical axis called?

• origin

• x-axis

• y-axis

• coordinate

What are the coordinates for the origin on a coordinate plane?

• (0)
• (1,1)
• (0,0)

Name the locations of point S.

• (4,6)
• (6,4)
• (3,3)
• (5,1)

The starting place on a number line or graph is called?

• The Origination

• The Original

• The Origin

• Oreo Cookies

The Y coordinate is

• always written first in an ordered pair.

• always written second in an ordered pair.

The coordinate that is always written first in an ordered pair is called the

• Y coordinate

• X Men

• X axis

• Y axis
