Coordinate Plane Concepts and Points

This video tutorial covers the basics of the coordinate plane, including how to choose and plot points on horizontal and vertical lines. It explains how to label coordinates and introduces activities to practice these skills. The tutorial also includes an archery target exercise to apply coordinate plane knowledge and concludes with homework problems for further practice.

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

• Draw a diagonal line

• Choose a vertical line

• Choose a horizontal line

• Select a point and label its coordinates

In the coordinate guessing game, what should you do if your partner guesses a point on your line but not the exact point you plotted?

• Ignore the guess

• Tell them the correct point

• Say the point is on the line but not one of your points

• Mark it as incorrect

What is the main difference between point A and points B, C, and D on the coordinate plane?

• Point A has two positive numbers

• Point A is in a different quadrant

• Point A has a negative x-coordinate

• Point A is not on the coordinate plane

Which quadrant is a point located in if it has a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate?

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

If a point is plotted at (5, 2), in which quadrant does it lie?

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

What is the score for landing an arrow in the blue region of the archery target?

• 10 points

• 8 points

• 6 points

• 4 points

Which of the following coordinates would score 10 points on the archery target?

• (0, 0)

• (-2, -5)

• (-5, -4)

• (2, -2)

What is the significance of the ordered pair (x, y) on a coordinate plane?

• It defines a quadrant

• It shows the distance between points

• It indicates a point's position

• It represents a line

How many quadrants are there in a coordinate plane?

• Four

• Two

• Three

• Five

Which of the following points is in Quadrant II?
