Coordinate Graphing Essentials

The video tutorial introduces coordinate graphing, explaining the coordinate plane with x and y axes, and the concept of quadrants. It covers ordered pairs and how to plot them on the axes, providing examples of plotting points. The tutorial also guides students in identifying coordinates from plotted points, including handling negative values. The lesson concludes with instructions for a worksheet to reinforce learning.

What is the first step in coordinate graphing?

• Labeling the quadrants

• Reviewing the basic line

• Identifying the origin

• Drawing a circle

What does the x-axis represent?

• Vertical movement

• Diagonal movement

• Horizontal movement

• Circular movement

How many quadrants are created by the x and y axes?

• Four

• Five

• Two

• Three

What is an ordered pair?

• A set of three numbers representing coordinates

• A set of two numbers representing coordinates

• A single number representing a point

• A pair of lines intersecting

In the ordered pair (2, 3), what does the number 2 represent?

• Movement along the y-axis

• Movement along the x-axis

• The origin

• A quadrant

If the x-coordinate is negative, in which direction do you move?

• Down

• Left

• Up

• Right

What are the coordinates of the point plotted at negative 4 on the x-axis and 5 on the y-axis?

• (4, 5)

• (-4, -5)

• (-4, 5)

• (4, -5)

If a point is plotted at (-3, -3), in which quadrant is it located?

• First quadrant

• Second quadrant

• Fourth quadrant

• Third quadrant

What is the first coordinate listed in an ordered pair?

• Origin

• X-coordinate

• Z-coordinate

• Y-coordinate

What are the coordinates of a point located at 2 on the x-axis and -5 on the y-axis?

• (2, 5)

• (-2, -5)

• (2, -5)

• (-2, 5)
