What is the primary function of the x-axis on a coordinate plane?

• It is used to measure height.

• It is used to measure depth.

• It moves left to right.

• It moves up and down.

How do you determine a point's location on a coordinate plane?

• By measuring angles.

• By using an ordered pair.

• By following a path.

• By using a compass.

What is the ordered pair for the point of origin?

• (1,1)

• (0,0)

• (2,2)

• (0,1)

If a treasure is located three units over and two units up, what is the ordered pair?

• (3,3)

• (2,2)

• (2,3)

• (3,2)

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

• Move up.
