Understanding Coordinate Plane Concepts

The video tutorial introduces the concept of coordinate planes, explaining the x-axis and y-axis, and how to plot points using coordinates. It covers the basics of graphing, including plotting points and understanding quadrilaterals. The tutorial also demonstrates how to use tables to organize coordinates and explains the conventions of ordered pairs. Finally, it provides practice exercises to apply graphing skills.

What is the horizontal axis on a coordinate plane called?

• w-axis

• x-axis

• z-axis

• y-axis

In which direction does the y-axis run?

• Bottom to top

• Left to right

• Top to bottom

• Diagonal

If a point has coordinates (2, 4), which axis do you look at first?

• w-axis

• x-axis

• z-axis

• y-axis

Where would the point (3, 7) be located on the coordinate plane?

• 3 units up, 7 units right

• 7 units up, 3 units right

• 3 units right, 7 units up

• 7 units right, 3 units up

What is the term for a four-sided shape on a coordinate plane?

• Pentagon

• Quadrilateral

• Triangle

• Hexagon

How would you write the coordinates for point A if it is 1 unit right and 1 unit up?

• (1, 0)

• (1, 2)

• (1, 1)

• (0, 1)

If point B is located at (3, 3), what does the first number represent?

• w-coordinate

• x-coordinate

• z-coordinate

• y-coordinate

In a table, which coordinate is typically listed first?

• y-coordinate

• z-coordinate

• x-coordinate

• w-coordinate

What is the ordered pair for a point located at 4 units right and 3 units up?

• (3, 0)

• (4, 0)

• (4, 3)

• (3, 4)

When converting a table to ordered pairs, what should you check first?

• The headings of the table

• The color of the table

• The size of the table

• The shape of the table
