Naming Points on a Coordinate Grid

This video tutorial explains the concept of coordinate grids, which consist of two perpendicular axes labeled as the X and Y axes. The intersection of these axes is called the origin. Points on the grid are located using ordered pairs of numbers, known as coordinates. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide on how to locate points on the grid, starting from the origin and moving along the X and Y axes. It includes practical examples with points labeled A to G, demonstrating how to find their locations using coordinates. The video concludes with a recap of the key concepts covered.

What is the point called where the X and Y axes intersect?

• Center

• Vertex

• Intersection

• Origin

In an ordered pair, which coordinate is listed first?

• Z coordinate

• Y coordinate

• X coordinate

• It doesn't matter

If a point is located at (5, 6), how many units do you move up from the origin?

• 5 units

• 6 units

• 11 units

• 0 units

What are the coordinates of point A?

• (5, 6)

• (1, 5)

• (6, 1)

• (1, 6)

Which point is located at (2, 2) on the coordinate grid?

• Point C

• Point F

• Point G

• Point A
