Read each question carefully and follow the instructions. Remember the properties of each quadrant on the coordinate plane.
1. In which quadrant would the point (-3, 5) be located?
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
2. A point with a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate is in which quadrant?
Quadrant I
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
3. The x-coordinate is also known as the .
4. The point (0, 0) is called the .
5. In Quadrant III, both the x and y coordinates are .
6. Plot the following points on the coordinate plane below and label them A, B, C, and D:
A = (4, -2)
B = (-1, 3)
C = (-5, -4)
D = (2, 5)
7. Write down the coordinates of a point that lies on the y-axis but not on the x-axis.
8. The point (6, 0) is located in Quadrant I.
True
False
9. If a point has coordinates (-x, -y) where x > 0 and y > 0, it is in Quadrant III.
True
False
10. A square has vertices at (2, 2), (-2, 2), and (-2, -2). What are the coordinates of the fourth vertex?
11. Describe the movement required to go from a point in Quadrant IV to a point in Quadrant II, crossing through Quadrant I.
