Understanding Coordinate Pairs and Describing Paths on a Coordinate Plane

This video tutorial explores the components and functions of a coordinate plane, including axes, origin, and plotting points. It explains how to interpret ordered pairs and understand directionality. The lesson also covers the relationships between coordinates, such as how lines form and the significance of parallel lines. The tutorial concludes with a summary of key concepts.

What is the name of the point where the X and Y axes intersect on a coordinate plane?

• Point of axis

• Point of reference

• Point of intersection

• Point of origin

If the X coordinate remains constant and the Y coordinate changes, what type of line is formed?

• Vertical line

• Diagonal line

• Horizontal line

• Curved line

Which axis is parallel to a line where the Y coordinate remains constant?

• Y axis

• Z axis

• X axis

• Origin

What happens to the line when both X and Y coordinates are the same?

• It forms a vertical line

• It forms a horizontal line

• It forms a diagonal line through the origin

• It forms a curved line

What pattern is observed in the Y coordinates of points on a diagonal line through the origin?

• They decrease by two each time

• They alternate between positive and negative

• They remain constant

• They increase by two each time
