Locating and Plotting Points on a Coordinate Grid

What forms the origin of a coordinate grid?

• The start of the y-axis

• The midpoint of the grid

• The end of the x-axis

• The intersection of the x-axis and y-axis

Which axis is horizontal in a coordinate grid?

• None of the above

• z-axis

• y-axis

• x-axis

What is the primary purpose of the y-axis in a coordinate grid?

• It is not used

• It measures depth

• It runs horizontally to measure width

• It runs vertically to measure height

What is the correct format of an ordered pair?

• (x-coordinate, y-coordinate)

• [x-coordinate, y-coordinate]

• {x-coordinate, y-coordinate}

• (y-coordinate, x-coordinate)

What symbol separates the numbers in an ordered pair?

• Hyphen

• Colon

• Semicolon

• Comma

How do you plot the point (1, 2) on a coordinate grid?

• Move 1 unit along the y-axis and 2 units along the x-axis

• Move 1 unit along the x-axis and 2 units along the y-axis

• Move 2 units along both axes

• Move 2 units along the x-axis and 1 unit along the y-axis

If a point is located at (6, 6), what does this indicate about its position?

• 6 units on both x and y axes

• 6 units on the x-axis only

• 6 units on the y-axis only

• 6 units away from the origin

What does the ordered pair (5, 8) represent?

• A point 8 units along both axes

• A point 5 units along the x-axis and 8 units along the y-axis

• A point 8 units along the x-axis and 5 units along the y-axis

• A point 5 units along the y-axis and 8 units along the x-axis

How do you determine the distance of a point from the y-axis?

• By checking the x-coordinate

• By checking the y-coordinate

• By using a ruler

• By measuring the diagonal distance

What does the ordered pair (2, 6) signify in terms of location?

• 6 units on both axes

• 6 units on the x-axis and 2 units on the y-axis

• 2 units on the x-axis and 6 units on the y-axis

• 2 units on both axes
