Plotting Points on a Cartesian Plane

The video tutorial teaches students how to plot points on a Cartesian plane when given coordinates. It covers plotting points on the x and y axes, in different quadrants, and with negative coordinates. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the Cartesian plane and encourages students to practice plotting points.

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

• Identify the coordinates of the point

• Draw the axes

• Choose a scale

• Label the quadrants

What is the significance of the origin in a Cartesian plane?

• It is the starting point for plotting

• It is where the axes intersect

• It is the center of the plane

• All of the above

If a point has a y-coordinate of zero, where will it lie?

• In the first quadrant

• On the x-axis

• In the second quadrant

• On the y-axis

What happens if both coordinates of a point are zero?

• The point lies on the x-axis

• The point lies on the y-axis

• The point is at the origin

• The point is in the first quadrant

Where will a point with an x-coordinate of zero be located?

• On the y-axis

• In the fourth quadrant

• In the third quadrant

• On the x-axis

How do you plot a point with coordinates (2, 5)?

• Move 5 units right and 2 units up

• Move 2 units right and 5 units up

• Move 2 units up and 5 units right

• Move 5 units up and 2 units right

How do you determine the quadrant of a point with positive x and y coordinates?

• It is in the second quadrant

• It is in the fourth quadrant

• It is in the third quadrant

• It is in the first quadrant

What is the purpose of drawing lines between points on a Cartesian plane?

• To make the plot look better

• To visualize relationships

• To create a graph

• To connect unrelated points

What is the role of the axes in a Cartesian plane?

• To provide a reference for plotting points

• To divide the plane into quadrants

• To help measure distances

• All of the above

How do you plot a point with coordinates (-3, 5)?

• Move 5 units right and 3 units down

• Move 5 units left and 3 units up

• Move 3 units right and 5 units down

• Move 3 units left and 5 units up
