Navigating Coordinate Plane Directions

This video tutorial teaches how to move points on a coordinate plane using cardinal directions and units. It explains how to determine the location of a point relative to another by counting movements on the x and y axes. The lesson includes examples of moving from one location to another, emphasizing the importance of starting from the given point rather than the origin. The tutorial also covers solving problems by understanding relative positions and directions.

What are the cardinal directions used for navigation on a coordinate plane?

• Above, Below, Beside, Across

• Forward, Backward, Left, Right

• Up, Down, Left, Right

• North, South, East, West

How is movement on a coordinate plane typically measured?

• By the number of steps taken

• By the time taken to move

• By the number of units moved

• By the distance in meters

If the playground is three blocks east and one block south of the school, how many total blocks are moved?

• Three blocks

• Four blocks

• Five blocks

• Six blocks

When finding a location on a coordinate plane, why is it important to start from the given point rather than the origin?

• Because the given point is always north

• Because the given point provides the correct reference

• Because the origin is always zero

• Because the origin is not on the map

If the pool is one block east and three blocks north of the school, what are its coordinates if the school is at (0, 6)?

• (0, 9)

• (1, 9)

• (1, 3)

• (3, 1)

What is the first step to find the location of the metro if you start at the grocery store and move two blocks west and three blocks south?

• Move two blocks east

• Move three blocks south

• Move three blocks north

• Move two blocks west

If your house is five blocks west and five blocks south of the library, where is the library relative to your house?

• Five blocks west and five blocks south

• Five blocks east and five blocks south

• Five blocks west and five blocks north

• Five blocks east and five blocks north

What are the coordinates of the library if it is five blocks east and five blocks north of your house located at (1, 3)?

• (6, 3)

• (1, 8)

• (5, 5)

• (6, 8)

Why is it important to understand the opposite directions when finding a location relative to another?

• To make the process faster

• To save time

• To ensure accurate placement on the map

• To avoid getting lost

What is the final location of the library if you move five units east and five units north from your house?

• (0, 0)

• (6, 8)

• (5, 5)

• (10, 10)
