Coordinate Points on a Plane

Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work where applicable.

1. Which ordered pair represents the origin on a coordinate plane?

2. In which quadrant would the point (-3, 5) be located?

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

4. A horizontal number line on a coordinate plane is called the  -axis.

5. A vertical number line on a coordinate plane is called the  -axis.

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

A = (2, 4)

B = (-3, 1)

C = (0, -5)

D = (5, -2)

7. The point (4, -2) is located in Quadrant IV.

8. The y-coordinate tells you how far left or right to move from the origin.

9. Write the ordered pair for each point shown on the coordinate plane below.

Point P:  

Point Q:  

Point R:
