Understanding Coordinates and Plotting Points

The video tutorial demonstrates how to plot points in the first quadrant using a pencil tool. It provides three example problems: plotting the points (4,5), (0,1), and (1,6). Each example is explained step-by-step, showing how to move along the x and y axes to locate and plot the points correctly. The tutorial confirms the correct placement of each point and encourages viewers to practice further.

What is the first step in plotting a point in the first quadrant?

• Select the eraser tool

• Select the compass tool

• Select the pencil tool

• Select the ruler tool

When plotting the point (4, 5), what is the correct sequence of actions?

• Go over to 4, then up to 5

• Go up to 5, then over to 4

• Go over to 5, then up to 4

• Go up to 4, then over to 5

What should you do if you make a mistake while plotting a point?

• Start over from the beginning

• Erase the mistake and try again

• Ignore the mistake and continue

• Ask for help

What is the x-coordinate in the point (4, 5)?

• 1

• 0

• 5

• 4

What is the y-coordinate in the point (4, 5)?

• 4

• 5

• 1

• 0

How do you plot the point (0, 1) on the graph?

• Go up to 0 on the x-axis and over to 1 on the y-axis

• Go up to 1 on the x-axis and over to 0 on the y-axis

• Go over to 0 on the x-axis and up to 1 on the y-axis

• Go over to 1 on the x-axis and up to 0 on the y-axis

What does it mean if the x-coordinate is 0?

• You move up on the y-axis

• You do not move on the x-axis

• You move to the right on the x-axis

• You move to the left on the x-axis

What is the y-coordinate in the point (0, 1)?

• 0

• 1

• 4

• 5

What is the x-coordinate in the point (0, 1)?

• 5

• 0

• 4

• 1

In the example of plotting (1, 6), what is the first action?

• Go over to 6 on the x-axis

• Go over to 1 on the x-axis

• Go up to 1 on the y-axis

• Go up to 6 on the y-axis
