Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Remember, the first number in an ordered pair is the x-coordinate, and the second is the y-coordinate.

1. What is the horizontal axis in a coordinate plane called?

2. What is the vertical axis in a coordinate plane called?

Fill in the blanks to complete the sentences.

3. The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect is called the .

4. An ordered pair is written as ( , ).

5. Which ordered pair represents a point 3 units to the right of the origin and 2 units up?

(2, 3)

(3, 2)

(3, 0)

(0, 2)

6. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below and label them A, B, C, and D.

A = (1, 4)

B = (5, 2)

C = (3, 0)

D = (0, 5)

7. Look at the coordinate plane below. Write the ordered pair for each point shown.

P =

Q =

R =

Read each statement and determine if it is true or false.

8. Moving right on a coordinate plane increases the y-coordinate.

True

False

9. The ordered pair (4, 1) means you move 4 units up and 1 unit right from the origin.

True

False
