Understanding the Cartesian Plane

The video tutorial reviews basic concepts of the Cartesian plane, including its axes, origin, and quadrants. It explains how to plot points using coordinates and provides examples of placing points on the plane. The tutorial aims to help viewers understand the fundamentals of graphing and coordinate systems.

What is the point called where the two axes of a Cartesian plane intersect?

• Vertex

• Origin

• Intersection

• Center

How many quadrants are there in a Cartesian plane?

• Two

• Three

• Five

• Four

In which direction do we move to identify the second quadrant on a Cartesian plane?

• Counterclockwise

• Clockwise

• Vertically

• Horizontally

Which axis is typically horizontal on a Cartesian plane?

• X-axis

• W-axis

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

What is the typical label for the vertical axis on a Cartesian plane?

• X-axis

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

• W-axis

What is the order of coordinates used to place a point on the Cartesian plane?

• Y, X

• X, Y

• Y, Z

• Z, X

If a point has coordinates (2, 3), where is it located on the Cartesian plane?

• 3 units up, 2 units right

• 2 units right, 3 units up

• 3 units right, 2 units up

• 2 units up, 3 units right

What are the coordinates of a point that is 4 units left and 6 units up?

• (4, -6)

• (-4, 6)

• (-6, 4)

• (6, -4)

How do you represent a point that is 3 units left and 7 units down?

• (-3, -7)

• (7, -3)

• (-3, 7)

• (3, -7)
