Point Movement on a Coordinate Grid First Quadrant

Yvonne is using a coordinate grid for the first time. She wants to find the location of the ordered pair (3, 7) on the grid. Starting at the origin, which movement should Yvonne do first?

• Move right along the x-axis to 3

• Move up along the y-axis to 3

• Move right along the y-axis to 7

• Move up along the x-axis to 7

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

Plot the point (5, 3) on the coordinate plane.

• (3, 5) is plotted on the coordinate plane.

• (3, 3) is plotted on the coordinate plane.

• (5, 5) is plotted on the coordinate plane.

• (5, 3) is plotted on the coordinate plane.
