Understanding Coordinate Plane Movements

The video tutorial explains how to plot a point on a coordinate plane. It begins by introducing the concept of x and y values, followed by converting an improper fraction to a mixed number. The tutorial then provides a step-by-step guide to plotting the point, starting from the origin and moving according to the x and y values. The correct point is identified as Point C.

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

• Move to the left

• Identify the y value

• Identify the x value

• Start at the origin

What is the significance of the origin in plotting points?

• It is the highest point

• It is the midpoint

• It is the starting point

• It is the endpoint

In a coordinate point, which value is listed first?

• Y value

• Origin

• Z value

• X value

What is the x value in the point (4.1, -7/3)?

• 4.1

• -7/3

• -2 and 1/3

• 0

How do you convert -7/3 into a mixed number?

• -1 and 1/3

• -2 and 1/3

• -3 and 1/3

• -2 and 2/3

What is the importance of converting an improper fraction to a mixed number in plotting?

• It simplifies calculations

• It changes the direction

• It changes the x value

• It is not important

What is the first direction you move when plotting a point?

• Up

• Left

• Right

• Down

How far do you move to the right for an x value of 4.1?

• 3.9 units

• 4 units

• 4.1 units

• 5 units

What does a positive x value indicate about the direction of movement?

• Move left

• Move right

• Move up

• Move down

If the x value is 0, where do you move horizontally?

• Move up

• Stay at the origin

• To the left

• To the right
