Plotting Points on a Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial explains how to plot points on a coordinate plane using ordered pairs. It covers the basics of identifying x and y values, plotting integer, fractional, and decimal points, and emphasizes the importance of the order in ordered pairs. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions and examples to help learners understand and apply these concepts effectively.

What is the first value in an ordered pair called?

• X value

• Y value

• Z value

• W value

Where do you plot the Y value of an ordered pair?

• On the horizontal x-axis

• On the vertical y-axis

• On the diagonal axis

• On the z-axis

To plot the point (3, 9), how many places do you move on the x-axis?

• 9 places

• 3 places

• 12 places

• 6 places

When plotting the point (3, 9), how many places do you move on the y-axis?

• 6 places

• 12 places

• 9 places

• 3 places

When plotting a point with fractions, what is important to consider?

• Exact placement

• Estimation

• Ignoring the fraction

• Using only whole numbers

Where would 2.5 fall on the x-axis?

• Between 4 and 5

• Between 2 and 3

• Between 1 and 2

• Between 3 and 4

When plotting the point (1, 4.5), where does 4.5 fall on the y-axis?

• Between 6 and 7

• Between 5 and 6

• Between 4 and 5

• Between 3 and 4

What is the correct label for the point (1, 4.5)?

• (1, 4.0)

• (1, 4)

• (1, 5)

• (1, 4.5)

What is the first step in plotting the point (2, 8)?

• Move across 2 places on the x-axis

• Move up 2 places on the y-axis

• Move up 8 places on the y-axis

• Move across 8 places on the x-axis

Why is the order of values in an ordered pair important?

• It determines the correct location of the point

• It helps in labeling the point

• It is not important

• It makes the graph look neat
