Mastering Plotting Points on the Coordinate Plane

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to plot points on a coordinate plane. The tutorial begins with plotting points in Quadrant One using positive coordinates, emphasizing the importance of the order of coordinates. It then expands to plotting points in all four quadrants, introducing negative coordinates. The video provides step-by-step examples, highlighting the significance of the x and y axes and the origin. Mr. Jay also discusses the implications of having zero as a coordinate, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of plotting points on a coordinate plane.

What is the correct order of coordinates in an ordered pair?

• (X, Y)

• (Y, X)

• (Y, 0)

• (0, 0)

Where do you start plotting points on a coordinate plane?

• (X, Y)

• (0, 0)

• (5, 5)

• (1, 1)

If a point has an X coordinate of 0, where is it located?

• On the X-axis

• On the Y-axis

• On the positive side of the Y-axis

• At the origin

If a point has a Y coordinate of 0, where does it lie?

• On the Y-axis

• At the origin

• On the X-axis

• On the negative side of the X-axis

What does a negative Y coordinate indicate about a point's location?

• It is on the Y-axis

• It is below the X-axis

• It is above the X-axis

• It is at the origin

How do you plot a point with coordinates (3, -9)?

• 3 right and 9 down

• 3 left and 9 up

• 9 left and 3 down

• 9 right and 3 up

What quadrant is the point (-9, 3) located in?

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant IV

Which point is plotted directly on the X-axis?

• (0, 7)

• (3, 0)

• (0, -2)

• (-5, -6)

What is the correct way to plot the point (4, 7)?

• 4 up and 7 right

• 7 left and 4 down

• 4 right and 7 up

• 7 right and 4 down

Which of the following points is located in Quadrant IV?

• (4, 7)

• (3, -9)

• (-9, 3)

• (-5, -6)
