Understanding Ordered Pairs and Coordinate Planes

What is the name of the horizontal line in a coordinate plane?

• y-axis

• w-axis

• z-axis

• x-axis

Where do the x-axis and y-axis intersect on a coordinate plane?

• At the point (0,1)

• At the origin

• At the point (1,1)

• At the point (1,0)

In an ordered pair, which coordinate is listed first?

• z-coordinate

• w-coordinate

• y-coordinate

• x-coordinate

What is the ordered pair for the origin on a coordinate plane?

• (1,0)

• (0,1)

• (0,0)

• (1,1)

If a point is located at (3, 5) on a coordinate plane, how many units is it from the origin along the x-axis?

• 2 units

• 5 units

• 3 units

• 8 units

How many units up the y-axis is a point located at (4, 7)?

• 4 units

• 3 units

• 7 units

• 11 units

What is the ordered pair for a point that is 6 units to the right and 2 units up from the origin?

• (6,2)

• (2,6)

• (0,0)

• (6,0)

If you start at the origin and move 5 units to the right and 8 units up, what is the ordered pair of your location?

• (8,5)

• (5,8)

• (5,0)

• (0,0)

What is the first step in plotting the point (7, 4) on a coordinate plane?

• Move 4 units to the right

• Move 7 units to the right

• Move 7 units up

• Move 4 units up

What is the final step in plotting the point (10, 1) on a coordinate plane?

• Move 10 units up

• Move 1 unit to the right

• Move 1 unit up

• Move 10 units to the right
