Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to plot points, identify coordinates, and understand the Cartesian plane.

1. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below:

A (3, 4)

B (-2, 5)

C (1, -3)

D (-4, -2)

E (0, 3)

F (-5, 0)

2. In which quadrant would the point (-7, 2) be located?

Quadrant I

Quadrant II

Quadrant III

Quadrant IV

3. The first number in an ordered pair represents the -coordinate, and the second number represents the -coordinate.

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

5. Explain how to plot the point (-3, 6) on a coordinate plane.

6. The x-coordinate tells you how many units to move up or down from the origin.

True

False

7. All points on the y-axis have an x-coordinate of 0.

True

False

8. Write the coordinates of the points plotted on the graph below:

Point G: ( , )

Point H: ( , )

Point I: ( , )

Point J: ( , )
