Graphs of Ordered Pairs and Coordinates — Practice

Recall / Warm-Up

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

The quadrant

The scale

The origin

On a number line, is −4 to the left or the right of 0?

To the right

To the left

A number line is scaled so each square counts for 2 units. If a point is 3 squares to the right of 0, what value does it represent?

Fluency Practice

A point sits exactly on the y-axis, to the right of nothing and below the origin. Which quadrant is it in?

Quadrant III

It is not in any quadrant — it lies on an axis

Quadrant IV

Starting at the origin, you move 5 units right and 2 units up. Write the point you land on as (x, y). Give your answer with no spaces, e.g. (5,2).

A point is at (−3, 4). Starting from the origin, how many units left and how many units up is this point? Give your answer as two numbers, left then up, e.g. 3,4.

$Coordinate grid with a point plotted 4 units left and 2 units down from the origin$

A point is plotted 4 units left of the origin and 2 units down. What are its coordinates?

(−4, −2)

(4, −2)

(−2, −4)

(−4, 2)

A point is plotted on a grid. Tracing down to the x-axis lands on 6; tracing across to the y-axis lands on −3. Write the point's coordinates as (x, y).
