Exploring Coordinate Graphing Techniques

What is the horizontal axis called in a coordinate graph?

• y-axis

• z-axis

• w-axis

• x-axis

Where do you always start when plotting points on a coordinate graph?

• At the origin

• At any point

• At the x-axis

• At the y-axis

What is an ordered pair?

• A pair of numbers representing a point on the graph

• A pair of letters

• A pair of axes

• A pair of lines

How is an ordered pair represented?

• y, x

• x, y

• y - x

• x + y

What are the coordinates of the origin?

• 0, 1

• 1, 1

• 1, 0

• 0, 0

If a point is at (1, 1), where is it located?

• 1 unit left and 1 unit up from the origin

• 1 unit left and 1 unit down from the origin

• 1 unit right and 1 unit down from the origin

• 1 unit right and 1 unit up from the origin

What are the coordinates of a point that is 4 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

• 2, 4

• 4, 4

• 2, 2

• 4, 2

How do you find the x value of a point on a coordinate graph?

• Count units right

• Count units left

• Count units down

• Count units up

How do you find the y value of a point on a coordinate graph?

• Count units up

• Count units right

• Count units down

• Count units left

What is the ordered pair for a point located 3 units right and 5 units up from the origin?

• 3, 3

• 5, 3

• 3, 5

• 5, 5
