Introduction to Writing Coordinate Pairs on the Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial teaches how to write coordinate pairs for points using a coordinate plane. It covers plotting points in different quadrants, specifically quadrants 1 and 3, and highlights common mistakes made when plotting. The tutorial provides step-by-step instructions for finding coordinate pairs for points B, C, and A, emphasizing the importance of moving along the X axis first and then the Y axis. The lesson concludes with a review of the key concepts learned.

What is the first step in plotting a point on the coordinate plane?

• Plot the Y value first

• Move along the Y axis

• Move along the X axis

• Start from the origin

In quadrant 3, if the X value is -2 and the Y value is -3, where should the point be plotted?

• 2 units right, 3 units up

• 2 units right, 3 units down

• 2 units left, 3 units up

• 2 units left, 3 units down

What is a common mistake when plotting ordered pairs?

• Returning to the origin after plotting the X value

• Starting with the X axis

• Plotting the Y value first

• Using negative values for positive coordinates

How do you determine the X value for point B?

• Count units down from the origin

• Count units up from the origin

• Count units right from the origin

• Count units left from the origin

What is the coordinate pair for point C?

• (-3, -2)

• (3, 2)

• (-3, 2)

• (3, -2)

How many units do you move down on the Y axis to find point A?

• 1 unit

• 4 units

• 2 units

• 3 units

What is the ordered pair for point A?

• (7, -3)

• (7, 3)

• (-7, -3)

• (-7, 3)
