Exploring Plotting Points in Traditional Algebra 1

The video tutorial covers Chapter 5 on graphing, starting with an introduction to the Cartesian plane, including the x and y axes, the origin, and how to plot points. It explains how to identify quadrants and plot points on a line, using tables to represent coordinates. The tutorial also addresses solving word problems by forming equations, focusing on initial values and rates of change. Finally, it demonstrates graphing points and checking if they are solutions to given equations.

What is the name of the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect?

• Cross Point

• Intersection

• Origin

• Zero Point

Which axis is horizontal on the Cartesian plane?

• W-axis

• Z-axis

• Y-axis

• X-axis

In which quadrant would the point (-3, -4) be located?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant II

What is the correct order for naming coordinates?

• Y, Z

• Z, X

• X, Y

• Y, X

If a point is located at (0, 5), on which axis is it located?

• None

• X-axis

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

What is the purpose of creating a table from points on a line?

• To identify the slope

• To find the midpoint

• To organize coordinates

• To calculate distance

What is the initial value in the equation for Sarah's baseball cards?

• 2 cards

• 3 cards

• 0 cards

• 5 cards

How many cards does Sarah have after 3 days if she starts with 2 cards and collects 3 more each day?

• 8 cards

• 12 cards

• 9 cards

• 11 cards

What is the equation for Sarah's baseball card collection if she starts with 2 cards and collects 3 more each day?

• y = 3 + 2x

• y = 2 + 3x

• y = 3x + 2

• y = 2x + 3

How can you verify if a point is a solution to an equation?

• By checking the slope

• By substituting the coordinates into the equation

• By graphing it

• By measuring the distance
