Understanding the Coordinate Plane

The video tutorial introduces the concept of the coordinate plane, explaining its two axes: the x-axis and y-axis. It covers how to graph points by moving along these axes and describes the four quadrants, each with different sign conventions for coordinates. The tutorial also explains the significance of zero values on the axes, providing examples to illustrate these concepts.

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

• Vertex

• Origin

• Intersection

• Center

Which axis is horizontal on the coordinate plane?

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

• X-axis

• W-axis

How do you write an ordered pair for a point on the coordinate plane?

• (y, x)

• [y, x]

• (x, y)

• [x, y]

If a point is located at (-3, 3), in which direction do you move first?

• Up

• Down

• Right

• Left

In which quadrant are both x and y coordinates positive?

• Quadrant IV

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

What are the signs of coordinates in Quadrant II?

• Positive, Positive

• Negative, Positive

• Negative, Negative

• Positive, Negative

Which quadrant has a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate?

• Quadrant I

• Quadrant II

• Quadrant III

• Quadrant IV

What is the value of y for any point on the x-axis?

• Negative

• Positive

• One

• Zero

If a point is on the y-axis, what is the value of x?

• Negative

• Zero

• One

• Positive

What is the ordered pair for a point located 5 units along the x-axis?

• (0, 5)

• (5, 0)

• (0, 0)

• (5, 5)
