Coordinate Plane Basics

Mr. Jay's video tutorial covers how to plot points on a coordinate plane. It begins with an introduction to the x-axis and y-axis, followed by six examples demonstrating how to plot various points. Each example emphasizes the importance of the order of coordinates and provides step-by-step instructions. The video concludes with tips for accurate plotting.

What is the orientation of the x-axis on a coordinate plane?

• Circular

• Horizontal

• Diagonal

• Vertical

In the ordered pair (4, 7), which number represents the y-coordinate?

• 4

• 7

• 0

• None of the above

When plotting the point (3, -9), in which direction do you move on the y-axis?

• Up

• Down

• Left

• Right
