Study Guide for Gold Test - Coordinate Planes - Grade 6

The table shows the coordinates of some landmarks on a map of a state park. Which quadrant shows the ranger station?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

In the coordinate plane, point A is reflected across the y-axis to create point B, and point C is reflected across the y-axis to create point D. What is the ordered pair for each point? Write your answers in the blanks.

Kara plots points L and M in the coordinate plane. The x-coordinate of point L is the opposite of the x-coordinate of point M. The y-coordinate of point L is the opposite of the y-coordinate of point M. Which statements are true about the points? Choose all the correct answers.

• The points are on opposite sides of the x-axis.

• The points are in Quadrant I and Quadrant IV.

• The points are the same distance from the y-axis.

• The points are located on the same horizontal line.

• The points are reflections of each other across the x-axis.

The table shows the account balance of the last five students to go through the lunch line in the cafeteria. Which of the following correctly orders the students according to their account balances from least to greatest?
