Plotting Points on the Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial covers day two of learning about the coordinate plane. It begins with a 'Do Now' activity where students write ordered pairs for given points. The lesson reviews how to write ordered pairs, emphasizing the order of x and y coordinates. The main focus is on plotting points on the coordinate plane using given ordered pairs. Students practice plotting points and identifying quadrants, reinforcing their understanding of the coordinate plane.

What is the first step in writing an ordered pair?

• Write the y-coordinate

• Count left or right

• Write the x-coordinate

• Count up or down

If a point is located at (-2, 4), which direction do you move first?

• Left

• Right

• Down

• Up

What are the coordinates of point B if it is 8 units to the left and 7 units down from the origin?

• (8, 7)

• (-8, -7)

• (-7, -8)

• (7, 8)

How do you plot the point (3, 8) on the coordinate plane?

• Move 3 units up and 8 units right

• Move 3 units right and 8 units up

• Move 8 units right and 3 units up

• Move 8 units up and 3 units right

Where is point D located if its coordinates are (-5, 0)?

• On the y-axis

• In Quadrant III

• On the x-axis

• In Quadrant I

What is the y-coordinate of point E if it is located at (-1, 7)?

• -1

• 7

• -7

• 0

If a point is at (0, -3), where do you move from the origin?

• 3 units down

• 3 units right

• 3 units up

• 3 units left

How do you plot the point (2, -3) on the coordinate plane?

• Move 2 units right and 3 units up

• Move 2 units right and 3 units down

• Move 2 units left and 3 units up

• Move 2 units left and 3 units down

Which quadrant is point A in if its coordinates are (-2, 6)?

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

What are the coordinates of point F if it is 7 units to the right and 4 units down from the origin?

• (7, 4)

• (-7, -4)

• (7, -4)

• (-7, 4)
