Plotting Coordinates

The video tutorial explains the concept of a coordinate plane, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect at the origin. It demonstrates how to set an origin in a room to create a seating plan and how to determine and plot coordinates for specific locations. Examples include plotting seats for Jack, Sophie, and Jimmy using both x and y coordinates. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the coordinate system and plotting points accurately.

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

• Origin

• Vertex

• Center

• Intersection

In the seating plan example, where is the origin placed?

• Top right corner

• Center of the room

• Bottom left corner

• Top left corner

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

• Distance along the x-axis

• Width of the point

• Distance along the y-axis

• Height of the point

If Jack's seat is at (3, 4), how do you reach it from the origin?

• Move 3 spaces right, then 4 spaces up

• Move 3 spaces up, then 4 spaces right

• Move 4 spaces up, then 3 spaces right

• Move 4 spaces right, then 3 spaces up

How do you reach Sophie's seat at (4, 3) from the origin?

• Move 4 spaces up, then 3 spaces right

• Move 3 spaces right, then 4 spaces up

• Move 4 spaces right, then 3 spaces up

• Move 3 spaces up, then 4 spaces right

What is the y-coordinate of Jimmy's seat if it is located at (7, 5)?

• 7

• 4

• 5

• 3

What is the main concept learned in this lesson?

• How to draw points on the coordinate plane

• How to measure angles

• How to draw lines on a graph

• How to calculate distances
