Understanding Coordinate Points and Graphing

The video tutorial covers plotting points on a coordinate plane. It begins with a review of linear inequalities and the x-axis, then introduces the y-axis to form a coordinate plane. The teacher explains the concept of the origin and how to plot points using x and y coordinates. Several examples are provided to illustrate plotting points, including negative and positive values on both axes.

What is the first step in plotting points on a graph?

• Drawing a vertical line

• Understanding the x-axis

• Identifying the y-axis

• Calculating the slope

What does the x-axis represent in a graph?

• Horizontal values

• Circular values

• Diagonal values

• Vertical values

What is added to create a coordinate plane?

• A vertical axis

• A diagonal axis

• A circular axis

• A parallel axis

How are the x-axis and y-axis similar?

• Both are vertical

• Both are horizontal

• Both have positive and negative values

• Both are diagonal

What is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect called?

• The center

• The midpoint

• The axis point

• The origin

In the coordinate point (x, y), which value is plotted first?

• The difference between x and y

• The sum of x and y

• The x value

• The y value

If a point has an x value of 0, where is it located on the graph?

• On the x-axis

• Off the graph

• On the y-axis

• At the origin

What does a negative y value indicate about a point's position?

• It is to the left of the y-axis

• It is to the right of the y-axis

• It is below the x-axis

• It is above the x-axis

What is the coordinate point for the origin?

• (1, 1)

• (0, 0)

• (0, 1)

• (1, 0)

How do you plot the point (-5, 6) on a graph?

• Move 5 units left and 6 units down

• Move 5 units right and 6 units up

• Move 5 units left and 6 units up

• Move 5 units right and 6 units down
