Graphing Points on Four Quadrants

Which quadrant contains the point named by (2, 5)?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

In which quadrant is the following point?
(-3, 12)

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

The coordinates for the origin in the coordinate plane are________?

• (1,1)

• (0,0)

• (0,1)

• (1,0)

Which number in the ordered pair, (-4, 5) represents the x-value?

• -4

• 5

• 4

• -5

Graph the point (-3, 2) on the coordinate plane. In which quadrant does this point lie?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

Which of the following points is located in Quadrant I?

• (-2, 5)

• (2, -5)

• (2, 5)

• (-2, -5)

Answer explanation

The point (2, 5) is located in Quadrant I because both the x and y coordinates are positive, which is a characteristic of Quadrant I.

When plotting the point, (-4, 3), which describes the movement along the x-axis and y-axis in the correct order? 

• 4 units right then 3 units up

• 4 units down then 3 units left

• 4 units left then 3 units up

• 4 units up then 4 units right

In the coordinate points (2,7) the 2 represents

• y

• origin

• x

• point

If a point is plotted at (-5, 0), where does it lie?

• On the x-axis

• On the y-axis

• In Quadrant I

• In Quadrant II

Answer explanation

The point (-5, 0) lies on the x-axis because the y-coordinate is 0, indicating it is parallel to the x-axis.

The temperature in Celsius degrees, y, from midnight to 10:00am, x, are graphed in the coordinate plane. What statement is true about where the points are located?

• The points are located in Quadrants 1 & 4 and the x-axis.

• The points are located in Quadrant 1 & 2 and the y-axis.

• The points are located in Quadrants 1 & 4 and both axes.

• The points are located in Quadrants 2 & 3 and both axes.
