Graphing Points on the Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial covers graphing on the coordinate plane, focusing on ordered pairs. It explains the x and y coordinates, demonstrates graphing points, and addresses special cases like zero coordinates. The lesson includes examples and practice exercises to reinforce understanding.

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

• The point where the x-axis and y-axis are equal

• The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect

• The point where the x-axis and y-axis are parallel

• The point where the x-axis and y-axis are perpendicular

In an ordered pair (x, y), what does the x-coordinate represent?

• The distance from the origin

• How far to travel left or right

• How far to travel up or down

• The quadrant of the point

If you have the ordered pair (3, -2), how would you graph it?

• Move 3 units to the right and 2 units down

• Move 3 units to the left and 2 units down

• Move 3 units to the right and 2 units up

• Move 3 units to the left and 2 units up

How do you determine the coordinates of a point already graphed?

• Start at the origin, move up or down, then left or right

• Start at the point, move up or down, then left or right

• Start at the origin, move left or right, then up or down

• Start at the point, move left or right, then up or down

What are the coordinates of a point that is 2 units to the right and 1 unit up from the origin?

• (2, 1)

• (1, 2)

• (-2, 1)

• (2, -1)

What does it mean if a point has a y-coordinate of zero?

• The point is on the y-axis

• The point is on the x-axis

• The point is in the first quadrant

• The point is at the origin

What are the coordinates of a point that is directly below the origin by 4 units?

• (4, 0)

• (0, 4)

• (0, -4)

• (-4, 0)

If a point is located at (-2, 0), where is it on the coordinate plane?

• On the y-axis

• On the x-axis

• In the first quadrant

• In the second quadrant

What are the coordinates of point B if it is 6 units up from the origin?

• (0, -6)

• (6, 0)

• (0, 6)

• (-6, 0)

If a point is at (4, -8), how do you reach it from the origin?

• Move 4 units right and 8 units down

• Move 4 units left and 8 units up

• Move 4 units left and 8 units down

• Move 4 units right and 8 units up
