Plotting Points and Coordinates

The video tutorial explains how to plot points on a chart in the first quadrant. It begins with an introduction to plotting, followed by a step-by-step guide on plotting specific points like (3,7) and (8,1). The tutorial then covers how to identify ordered pairs from plotted points and concludes with finding ordered pairs for given points, emphasizing the simplicity of the process.

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

• Count backwards

• Draw a line

• Go over the x-axis

• Go up the y-axis

When plotting the point (3, 7), how many units do you move up after going over three units?

• 8 units

• 7 units

• 6 units

• 5 units

What is the x-coordinate of the point (3, 7)?

• 3

• 7

• 6

• 5

What is the correct order of actions to plot the point (8, 1)?

• Go up 1, then over 8

• Go up 8, then over 1

• Go over 1, then up 8

• Go over 8, then up 1

What is the first action to take when plotting a point like (8, 1)?

• Go up 1 unit

• Go over 8 units

• Go up 8 units

• Go over 1 unit

If a point is plotted at (3, 4), what does the '3' represent?

• The y-coordinate

• The x-coordinate

• The distance from the origin

• The slope of the line

How do you determine the y-coordinate of a plotted point?

• By guessing

• By counting over the x-axis

• By counting up the y-axis

• By drawing a line

What is the ordered pair for a point that is 3 units over and 4 units up?

• (4, 4)

• (3, 3)

• (3, 4)

• (4, 3)

What is the ordered pair for a point that is 8 units over and 9 units up?

• (7, 9)

• (8, 9)

• (9, 7)

• (9, 8)

What is the y-coordinate of the point (8, 9)?

• 8

• 9

• 7

• 6
