Graphing Points and Identifying Quadrants

The video tutorial explains how to plot points on a coordinate plane and determine which quadrant they lie in. It starts with plotting the point (4, -1) and identifying it in the fourth quadrant. The tutorial then provides examples with points (8, -4) and (-5, 5), showing how to move along the x and y axes and determine the corresponding quadrants. The video also briefly explains the naming convention of quadrants using Roman numerals.

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

• The distance from the origin

• The quadrant

• The y-coordinate

• The x-coordinate

If the x-coordinate is positive, in which direction do you move?

• Up

• Right

• Left

• Down

What does a negative y-coordinate indicate?

• Move up

• Move down

• Move left

• Move right

In which quadrant does the point (4, -1) lie?

• Fourth quadrant

• Third quadrant

• First quadrant

• Second quadrant

What is the Roman numeral for the fourth quadrant?

• II

• III

• I

• IV

If the x-coordinate is 8, how far do you move in the x-direction?

• 8 units down

• 8 units to the left

• 8 units to the right
