What is the location of a point in Quadrant I at a vertical distance of 4.5 units from point Z?

• (0, 5)

• (5, 0)

• (0, -5)

• (-5, 0)

Answer explanation

The point in Quadrant I at a vertical distance of 4.5 units from point Z is (0, 5). In Quadrant I, the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is positive, so the correct answer is (0, 5).

Which ordered pair describes a point that is located (1 1/2) units to the left of the origin and 3 units above the x-axis?

• (1 1/2, 3)

• (3, 1 1/2)

• (-1 1/2, 3)

• (1 1/2, -3)

Answer explanation

The correct ordered pair is (-1 1/2, 3) because it describes a point that is 1 1/2 units to the left of the origin and 3 units above the x-axis.

What are the coordinates of a point that is 4 units to the right of the origin and 2 units below the x-axis?

• (4, 2)

• (-4, -2)

• (4, -2)

• (-4, 2)

Answer explanation

The point that is 4 units to the right of the origin and 2 units below the x-axis has coordinates (4, -2), so the correct answer is (4, -2).

If a point moves 3 units down from the position (2, 3), what will be its new position?

• (2, 0)

• (2, 6)

• (5, 3)

• (-1, 3)

Answer explanation

The new position will be (2, 3 - 3) = (2, 0), as the point moves 3 units down on the y-axis.

At what coordinates does a point lie if it is 5 units to the left and 3 units above the origin?

• (-5, 3)

• (5, -3)

• (-5, -3)

• (5, 3)

Answer explanation

The point lies at (-5, 3) because it is 5 units to the left (negative x-coordinate) and 3 units above the origin (positive y-coordinate).

If a point is moved 4 units to the right and 2 units up from (-2, -3), what is its new position?

• (2, -1)

• (-6, -5)

• (-2, 1)

• (2, -5)

Answer explanation

The point (-2, -3) moved 4 units to the right becomes (2, -3), and then moved 2 units up becomes (2, -1). Therefore, the new position is (2, -1).
