Understanding the Basic Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial introduces the concept of a coordinate plane using a treasure map analogy. It explains the basics of the coordinate plane, including the x-axis, y-axis, and the origin. The tutorial demonstrates how to find a location using coordinates and emphasizes the importance of the order of x and y coordinates. It includes problem-solving exercises, such as finding new points on a graph and completing a rectangle using given coordinates. The video concludes with a recap of the key concepts learned.

What is the name of the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect?

• Zero Point

• Intersection

• Origin

• Crosspoint

If a point is 4 units away from the origin on the x-axis, what is this value called?

• Y-coordinate

• Z-coordinate

• X-coordinate

• Origin

Why is the order of coordinates important when plotting a point?

• It determines the color of the point.

• It affects the size of the point.

• It ensures the point is plotted in the correct location.

• It changes the shape of the graph.

If a point is moved 3 units to the right on the coordinate plane, which coordinate changes?

• X-coordinate

• Y-coordinate

• Z-coordinate

• Both coordinates

What are the coordinates of a point that is 5 units along the x-axis and 1 unit along the y-axis?

• (6, 0)

• (0, 6)

• (5, 1)

• (1, 5)

In the rectangle puzzle, if a line intersects the x-axis at 6, what is the x-coordinate of the missing point?

• 3

• 6

• 7

• 9

• How to erase points from the coordinate plane.

• How to color the coordinate plane.

• How to find and plot points on the coordinate plane.

• How to draw a coordinate plane.
