Question 1.
What is the origin in the Cartesian coordinate system?
Show hintHide hint
Think of the starting point of the coordinates.
Question 2.
How do you write an ordered pair for the point 6 units right and 2 units up from the origin?
Show hintHide hint
Remember that the first number represents horizontal movement.
3Question 3.
What is the Cartesian plane used for?
- To represent 3D shapes
- To locate points in 2D space
- To calculate volume
Show hintHide hint
Think about the axes and points.
4Question 4.
True or False: The origin is always at (1, 1).
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the definition of the origin.
Question 5.
Plot the following points on the Cartesian plane: A(3, 2), B(-1, 4), and C(4, -3). What do these points represent geometrically?
Show hintHide hint
Remember the sign of x and y to determine the correct quadrant.
Question 6.
If two points are given as (x, 0) and (0, y), what can you conclude about their locations?
Show hintHide hint
Visualize where each pair would plot on the axes.
