Plotting Points

What is the orientation of the x-axis on a coordinate plane?

• Circular

• Diagonal

• Horizontal

• Vertical

If given the coordinates (4,7), in which direction should you move first?

• Right 4

• Down 7

• Up 7

• Left 4

What does the coordinate (3, -9) tell you about the vertical movement?

• Move down 3

• Move down 9

• Move up 3

• Move up 9

How does the point (-9, 3) differ in placement from (3, -9)?

• It is to the left on the x-axis

• It is higher on the y-axis

• It is to the right on the x-axis

• It is lower on the y-axis

Where would you plot the point (-5, -6)?

• Left 5, up 6

• Right 5, up 6

• Right 5, down 6

• Left 5, down 6

What is the correct sequence of movements to plot the point (0, -2)?

• Left 0, down 2

• Right 0, up 2

• Left 0, up 2

• Right 0, down 2

For the coordinate (-8, 10), what is the correct vertical movement?

• Down 8

• Up 8

• Up 10

• Down 10

What is the starting point called in coordinate plotting?

• Origin

• Zero line

• Baseline

• Axis

Which axis is used for the first movement when plotting a point?

• X-axis

• W-axis

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

What is the importance of the order of coordinates in plotting?

• Determines the direction of plotting

• Determines the color of the point

• Determines the shape of the point

• Determines the size of the point
