Coordinate Plane Point Plotting

The video tutorial teaches how to write coordinate pairs for points using a coordinate plane. It covers plotting points in different quadrants, highlights common mistakes, and provides examples of finding coordinate pairs for specific points. The lesson emphasizes starting with the x-axis and moving to the y-axis, and it explains how to avoid errors such as reversing axes or returning to the origin after plotting the x-value.

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

• Move along the y-axis

• Move along the x-axis

• Start at the origin

• Plot the y-value first

In quadrant 1, if a point has coordinates (5, 3), how do you plot it?

• Move 3 units left and 5 units down

• Move 3 units right and 5 units up

• Move 5 units left and 3 units down

• Move 5 units right and 3 units up

What is a common mistake when plotting points on the coordinate plane?

• Using negative values in quadrant 1

• Starting with the x-axis

• Returning to the origin after plotting the x-value

• Plotting the y-value first

How do you determine the x-value for point B if it is to the right of the origin?

• Count units downwards

• Count units upwards

• Count units to the right

• Count units to the left

What is the coordinate pair for point B if it is 4 units right and 5 units up?

• (4, 5)

• (5, 4)

• (-4, -5)

• (-5, -4)

If a point is in the negative direction on the x-axis, what does this indicate?

• The x-value is negative

• The y-value is negative

• The x-value is positive

• The y-value is positive

For point C, if you move 3 units left and 2 units down, what is the coordinate pair?

• (-2, -3)

• (3, 2)

• (2, 3)

• (-3, -2)

What is the x-value for point A if it is 7 units in the positive direction?

• 3

• 7

• -7

• 0

How many units do you move down for point A if the y-value is -3?

• 3 units

• 7 units

• 5 units

• 2 units

What is the ordered pair for point A if it is 7 units right and 3 units down?

• (-3, 7)

• (-7, -3)

• (7, 3)

• (7, -3)
