Coordinate Plane Setup and Plotting

The video tutorial covers lesson 17 on drawing the coordinate plane and plotting points. It begins with an introduction to the coordinate plane, followed by detailed instructions on drawing and labeling the x and y axes. The tutorial then guides students on numbering the grid and provides three examples of plotting points, each with varying scales and values, including decimals and negatives.

What is the first step in setting up a coordinate plane on a grid?

• Plot the points

• Draw arrows at the end of the axes

• Place the origin at the center

• Label the axes with numbers

How should the x-axis be labeled according to the lesson?

• Label every other unit

• Label every unit

• Do not label the x-axis

• Label every five units

What is the significance of the origin on the coordinate plane?

• It is where the x-axis and y-axis intersect

• It is the midpoint of the y-axis

• It is the highest point on the grid

• It is the starting point for labeling

When plotting the point (3, 2), which direction do you move from the origin?

• Left 3, Down 2

• Right 3, Up 2

• Left 3, Up 2

• Right 3, Down 2

What is the correct way to label the y-axis when using a scale of fives?

• Do not label the y-axis

• Label every ten units

• Label every five units

• Label every unit

How do you plot the point (-4, 20) on the coordinate plane?

• Move left 4, up 20

• Move right 4, up 20

• Move left 4, down 20

• Move right 4, down 20

What scale is used on the x-axis when plotting points with decimal coordinates?

• Ones

• Twos

• Fives

• Tenths

How do you plot the point (0.1, 4) on a decimal scale grid?

• Move right 0.1, down 4

• Move left 0.1, up 4

• Move left 0.1, down 4

• Move right 0.1, up 4

What is the correct way to label the x-axis when using a scale of twos?

• Label every five units

• Label every other unit

• Label every ten units

• Label every unit

How do you plot the point (-0.7, -5) on a decimal scale grid?

• Move left 0.7, down 5

• Move right 0.7, up 5

• Move right 0.7, down 5

• Move left 0.7, up 5
