The graph shows Timmy's distance he is as he leaves school one afternoon. What happens in section B?

• Timmy is walking back to school because he forgot his math book.

• Timmy is talking to a friend and not walking.

• Timmy is walking faster home.

• Timmy is dancing in the street.

Which of these is a correct process for plotting the point (4, 3) on the coordinate plane?

• Start at the top of the y-axis. Move 3 units to the right, and then move 4 units down. Plot the point there.

• Start at the top of the y-axis. Move 3 units down the y-axis, and then move 4 units to the right. Plot the point there.

• Start at the origin. Move 4 units to the right, and then move 3 units up. Plot the point there.

• Start at the origin. Move 4 units up the y-axis, and then move 3 units to the right. Plot the point there.

Where is point E located?

• (2, 0)

• (2 , 2)

• (0 , 2)

• (0 , 0)

What will be the last coordinate of the rectangle?

• (1, 3)

• (8, 4)

• (8, 3)

• (7, 3)

Samantha is going to draw a rectangle on this grid. Give the co-ordinates of the fourth point on her rectangle.

• (4, -6)

• (-6, 4)

• (0, 0)

Which statement best describes ordered pairs on a coordinate plane?

• Either the x or y value may be written first in an ordered pair, depending on which value is the greatest.

• The y-coordinate is located by moving horizontally, while the x-coordinate is located by moving vertically.

• The x-coordinate tells how far to travel left or right of the origin, and the y-coordinate tells how far to travel above or below the origin.

• An ordered pair tells how far to go diagonally within a plane, with the first coordinate plotted diagonally from the origin in the first quadrant.

In the coordinate (4, 9), which number is the y-coordinate?

• 9

• neither

• both

• (2, -4)

• (-8, 2)

• (2, -8)
