Exploring Coordinate Graphing Techniques

What is the main difference between the coordinate graphing you did in elementary school and what you are learning now?

• Using only positive numbers

• Using both positive and negative numbers

• Using only negative numbers

• Using fractions

What is the point called where the two axes meet?

• Origin

• Intersection

• Crossing

• Center

Which axis is vertical on the coordinate plane?

• W-axis

• X-axis

• Z-axis

• Y-axis

What happens to the numbers on the x-axis as you move to the right from the origin?

• They get smaller

• They stay the same

• They get bigger

• They turn negative

What is the ordered pair for a point that is 4 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin?

• (4, -3)

• (4, 3)

• (-4, 3)

• (-4, -3)

In which quadrant would the point (-3, 1) be located?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant III

Which quadrant contains points with both coordinates positive?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant III

What are the coordinates of a point that is 2 units to the left and 3 units down from the origin?

• (2, 3)

• (-2, -3)

• (2, -3)

• (-2, 3)

If a point is on an axis, which quadrant is it in?

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• None

What is the ordered pair for a point that is 4 units to the left and does not move up or down?

• (0, 4)

• (4, 0)

• (0, -4)

• (-4, 0)
