The Coordinate Plane and Graphing

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 4

What are the coordinates of the point where the x-axis and the y-axis intersect on a coordinate plane?

• (5, 5)

• (5, 0)

• (0, 5)

• (0, 0)

The coordinates for the origin in the coordinate plane are________?

• (1,1)

• (0,0)

• (0,1)

• (1,0)

Describe the correct process of graphing Point A on the graph.

• You start at 0 on the Y axis, crawl 1 unit and climb on the X axis 5 units

• Starting at the origin you move 1 unit right on the X axis and up 5 units on the y axis

• Start at (5,5) and move four spaces to the left

• Start at the origin move 5 units up on the Y axis and over 1 unit on the X axis.

A student will graph the point (5, 3) on a coordinate grid. Which steps can the student take in order to graph the point correctly?

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units up. Move 3 units right. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units right. Move 3 units right. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units up. Move 3 units up. Graph the point.

• Start at the origin. Move 5 units right. Move 3 units up. Graph the point.

A student graphs a point that is represented by the ordered pair (3, 0). In this ordered pair, what does the number 3 indicate?

• The point is 3 units above 0 on the x-axis

• The point is 3 units above 0 on the y-axis

• The point is 3 units to the right of 0 on the y-axis

• The point is 3 units to the right of 0 on the x-axis

What is the letter is a the the ordered pair (0, 3)?

• A

• M

• R

• L

Where is point E located?
