Question 1.
What are the coordinates of the origin?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, the origin is where x and y are both zero.
Question 2.
What do the coordinates (3, -1) represent?
Show hintHide hint
Look at the x value to determine horizontal movement and the y value for vertical.
3Question 3.
What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?
- The vertical position
- The horizontal position
- The distance from the origin
Show hintHide hint
Remember, x usually tells us how far left or right a point is located.
4Question 4.
Is the origin considered a point in the Cartesian plane?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the special coordinate values of the origin.
Question 5.
A point is plotted at (a, b). If a = -4 and b = 3, what quadrant is this point in?
Show hintHide hint
Remember, negative x and positive y means second quadrant.
Question 6.
Given points X(2, 5), Y(-2, 2), and Z(-2,-5), determine the perimeter of the triangle they form.
Show hintHide hint
Use the distance formula: D = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).
