Exploring the Coordinate Plane: Plotting Points

The video tutorial introduces the concept of the coordinate plane, explaining it as a graph made up of two number lines: the x-axis and the y-axis. It describes how to plot points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs, starting from the origin. The tutorial provides examples of plotting points with different coordinates, including those with zero values, to illustrate the process.

What is the coordinate plane made up of?

• Three number lines

• Two number lines

• A single number line

• Four number lines

Which axis runs left to right?

• Z-axis

• Y-axis

• X-axis

• W-axis

In which direction do the positive values on the y-axis go?

• Left

• Right

• Up

• Down

What is an ordered pair made up of?

• Two y values

• Three values

• Two x values

• An x value and a y value

Where do you start when plotting a point on the coordinate plane?

• At the top right corner

• At the origin (0,0)

• At the bottom left corner

• At any random point

If you have the point (3, 5), how do you move on the x-axis?

• 5 units to the right

• 3 units to the left

• 3 units to the right

• 5 units to the left

For the point (3, 5), how do you move on the y-axis?

• 5 units up

• 3 units down

• 3 units up

• 5 units down

How do you move on the x-axis for the point (-2, 4)?

• 4 units to the right

• 2 units to the left

• 4 units to the left

• 2 units to the right

For the point (-3, 0), how do you move on the y-axis?

• 3 units to the right

• 3 units down

• 0 units

• 3 units up

For the point (0, 6), how do you move on the x-axis?

• 6 units to the left

• 0 units

• 6 units up

• 6 units to the right
