Plotting Points on a Coordinate Plane

What axis is represented horizontally?

• Z-axis

• X-axis

• Y-axis

• None of the above

What is the correct order of coordinates in an ordered pair?

• (Y, X)

• (X, Y)

• (Z, X)

• (Y, Z)

What is the importance of the order in an ordered pair?

• Determines the direction of plotting

• Indicates the axis of plotting first

• Changes the plot to a different quadrant

• No importance

Which direction do you move on the X-axis to plot a negative X coordinate?

• Right

• Left

• Up

• Down

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

• (-1, -1)

• (0, 0)

• (0, 1)

• (1, 1)

How do you plot a point with a positive Y coordinate?

• Move left

• Move right

• Move down

• Move up

What does a point directly on the Y-axis indicate about its X coordinate?

• It's zero

• It's positive

• It's negative

• It's undefined

Which point is plotted directly on the Y-axis?

• (0, 3)

• (3, 0)

• (-3, 0)

• (0, -3)

If a point's X coordinate is negative, in which direction do you move from the origin?

• Up

• Left

• Down

• Right

What is the sequence of movements to plot a point?

• Up then right

• Up or down then side to side

• Down then left

• Side to side then up or down
