Exercises: Graphs of Ordered Pairs and Coordinates
Work through each section in order. Draw a grid to check your answers where helpful.
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.
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).
