Coordinate Planes

Consider the points (3, 4) and (−3, 4). When the two points are compared, which statement is NOT TRUE?

• Both points are 4 units above the y-axis.

• The x coordinates are opposite numbers.

• The y coordinates have the same value.

Which statement best describes ordered pairs on a coordinate plane?

• Either the x or y value may be written first in an ordered pair, depending on which value is the greatest.

• The y-coordinate is located by moving horizontally, while the x-coordinate is located by moving vertically.

• The x-coordinate tells how far to travel left or right of the origin, and the y-coordinate tells how far to travel above or below the origin.

• An ordered pair tells how far to go diagonally within a plane, with the first coordinate plotted diagonally from the origin in the first quadrant.

Which statement is TRUE for the ordered pairs (-5, -4), (-9, -3), and (-8,-2)?

• The points represented by the coordinates are in Quadrant I.

• The points represented by the coordinates are in Quadrant II.

• The points represented by the coordinates are in Quadrant IV.

• The points represented by the coordinates are in Quadrant III.

Which coordinate pair identifies the location of point J?

• (6, 1)

• (1, 6)

• (7, 0)

• (5, 1)

Which coordinate pair identifies a point in the third quadrant of the coordinate plane?

• (3,6)

• (3,-6)

• (-3,-6)

• (-3,6)

Which statement is TRUE for the ordered pairs (-1, 4), (-5, 2), and (-10, 4)?

• The points represented by the coordinates are in Quadrant I.

• The points represented by the coordinates are in Quadrant II.

• The points represented by the coordinates are in Quadrant III.

• The points represented by the coordinates are in Quadrant IV.
