Points in All Four Quadrants

The axes divide the coordinate plane into four sections called what?

• ordered pairs

• quadrants

• origins

• coordinate plane

What ordered pair is 5 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin?

• (3,5)

• (5,3)

• (-5,3)

• (-5,-3)

Which quadrant has x and y values that are both negative?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

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

• 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.

What Quadrant is point D in ?

• Q 1

• Q 2

• Q 3

• Q 4

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.

Which quadrant is point Y located in?

• I

• II

• III

• IV

If you were to plot the point (4, -12) what would be the correct method?

• Up 4, left 12

• Right 4, up 12

• Down 4, left 12

• Right 4, down 12

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

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV
