The Coordinate Plane

Label the axis on the graph:

a

b

x-axis

y-axis

The 'x' value tells you to move....

• up and down

• left and right

• diagonal

• anywhere you want

The 'y' value tells you to move....

• up and down

• left and right

• diagonal

• anywhere you want

In what order to you follow ordered pairs?

• It doesn't matter.

• y first then x
• none of these
• x first then y

What are the coordinates of point H?

• -4, 2

• 4, -2

• -2, 4

• 4, 4

What is the ordered pair for point K?

• -3, -3

• 3, -3

• -4, -4

• 5, 8

What is the ordered pair for point E?

• 3, 0

• 0,4

• 0, -3

• -3, 0

What is a quadrant?

• The point where the y and x axis intersect

• The four areas of a coordinate plane

• a point on the y-axis

• a point on the x-axis

What quadrant would I expect to find point B?

• 4

• 3

• 2

• x-axis

In what axis or quadrant would I expect to find point F?

• y-axis

• 1

• x-axis

• 4
