Coordinate Plane Concepts and Points

The video tutorial introduces the concept of the coordinate system, starting with number lines and progressing to the coordinate plane. It explains the x-axis, y-axis, and the origin, and how to locate points using ordered pairs. Examples are provided to illustrate how to identify points on the grid, including those involving fractions. The tutorial concludes with a demonstration of how to describe movement between points on the grid.

What is formed when horizontal and vertical number lines intersect?

• A Cartesian circle

• A grid system

• A number line

• A coordinate plane

What is the name of the horizontal line in a coordinate plane?

• w-axis

• y-axis

• z-axis

• x-axis

Where do the x-axis and y-axis intersect?

• At the origin

• At the endpoint

• At the point (1,1)

• At the midpoint

How is the point (3, 2) described in terms of its position?

• 3 units down, 2 units left

• 3 units right, 2 units up

• 3 units left, 2 units down

What is the ordered pair for a point located at the origin?

• (0, 1)

• (2, 2)

• (0, 0)

• (1, 1)

What is the x-coordinate of a point located directly on the y-axis?

• 0

• 1

• 2

• 3

If a point is at (4, 0), where is it located?

• On the y-axis

• In the first quadrant

• On the x-axis

• At the origin

If a point is between 2 and 4 on the x-axis, what is its x-coordinate?

• 5

• 4

• 3

• 2

How would you describe a point located at 1.5 on the x-axis and 3.5 on the y-axis?

• (1, 3)

• (1.5, 3.5)

• (1, 4)

• (2, 4)

What is the movement from point (1, 1) to point (5, 4)?

• 4 units left, 3 units down

• 4 units right, 3 units up

• 3 units right, 4 units up

• 3 units left, 4 units down
