Introduction to the Coordinate Plane: Getting to the Point

The video tutorial covers the basics of the coordinate plane, including its axes, the origin, and how to name quadrants using Roman numerals. It explains how to identify and name ordered pairs, and how to graph points on the coordinate plane. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding the x and y coordinates and provides exercises for practice.

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

• Center

• Vertex

• Origin

• Intersection

How many quadrants are there in a coordinate plane?

• Three

• Five

• Two

• Four

In which direction do we name the quadrants on a coordinate plane?

• Clockwise

• Counterclockwise

• Vertically

• Horizontally

What is the format used to represent an ordered pair?

• {x, y}

• [x, y]

• (x, y)

In which quadrant would the point (-3, 4) be located?

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant I

If a point has coordinates (5, -3), in which quadrant is it located?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

What are the coordinates of a point that is 3 units to the right and 2 units up from the origin?

• (-3, -2)

• (3, -2)

• (-3, 2)

• (3, 2)

How do you determine the x-coordinate of a point?

• By moving vertically

• By moving horizontally

• By moving diagonally

• By moving in a circle

If a point is located at (-2, -2), which quadrant is it in?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

What is the first step in graphing a point given its ordered pair?

• Identify the quadrant

• Start at the origin

• Draw the axes

• Label the point
