Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. For plotting questions, use the provided coordinate plane.
1. Which ordered pair represents the origin on a coordinate plane?
(1, 0)
(0, 1)
(0, 0)
(1, 1)
2. In which quadrant would the point (-3, 5) be located?
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
3. The horizontal axis on a coordinate plane is called the .
4. The vertical axis on a coordinate plane is called the .
5. An ordered pair is written in the form ( , ), where the first number is the x-coordinate and the second is the y-coordinate.
6. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below and label them A, B, C, and D:
A = (2, 3)
B = (-4, 1)
C = (0, -5)
D = (3, -2)
7. Write the coordinates for each point plotted on the graph below:
Point P:
Point Q:
Point R:
8. The x-coordinate tells you how far left or right to move from the origin.
True
False
9. If a point is on the y-axis, its x-coordinate must be 0.
True
False
