Understanding Coordinate Plane Concepts

The video tutorial explains how to plot an ordered pair on a coordinate plane. It begins by identifying the x-axis as the horizontal line and the y-axis as the vertical line. The tutorial then demonstrates how to plot the point (5, -3) by locating the number 5 on the x-axis and -3 on the y-axis. The intersection of these two points is where the ordered pair is plotted, completing the task.

What is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane called?

• X-axis

• Z-axis

• W-axis

• Y-axis

In an ordered pair, what does the first number represent?

• W-axis

• Z-axis

• X-axis

• Y-axis

What does the second number in an ordered pair indicate?

• W-axis

• Z-axis

• Y-axis

• X-axis

Where is the number 5 located on the coordinate plane?

• On the right side of the x-axis

• On the top of the y-axis

• On the bottom of the y-axis

• On the left side of the x-axis

Where would you find the number -3 on the coordinate plane?

• On the left side of the x-axis

• On the right side of the x-axis

• On the top of the y-axis

• On the bottom of the y-axis

What is the final step in plotting the point (5, -3) on the coordinate plane?

• Mark the x-coordinate

• Mark the y-coordinate

• Find the intersection of the x and y coordinates

• Label the axes
