Coordinate Plane Exploration

Coordinate plane with four quadrants

📚 Part 1: Coordinate Plane Knowledge

1. Which quadrant contains the point (-3, 5)?

Quadrant I

Quadrant II

Quadrant III

Quadrant IV

2. What are the coordinates of the origin?

(1, 1)

(0, 0)

(-1, -1)

(0, 1)

3. In which quadrants do ALL points have negative x-coordinates? (Select all that apply)

Quadrant I

Quadrant II

Quadrant III

Quadrant IV

4. Complete the table of values and plot the points on the coordinate plane below:

Table of Values:

x = -2, y = ______ (if the point is at (-2, 4))

x = ______, y = -3 (if the point is at (1, -3))

x = -1, y = ______ (if the point is at (-1, -2))

✏️ Part 2: Plotting and Writing Coordinates

5. Write the ordered pair for each description:

a) 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin: __________

b) 4 units left and 1 unit down from the origin: __________

c) 2 units left and 3 units up from the origin: __________

6. Plot the following mystery points and connect them in order to reveal a shape:

Points to plot: (2, 3), (-2, 3), (-2, -1), (2, -1), (2, 3)

7. What shape did you create in question 6?
8. Explain how you know which quadrant a point belongs to by looking at its coordinates:

🧩 Part 3: Vocabulary and Problem Solving

9. Match each term with its correct definition by writing the letter:

a) Ordered pair _______ : The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect

b) Origin _______ : A pair of numbers (x, y) that shows position on a coordinate plane

c) Quadrant _______ : The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane

d) X-axis _______ : One of four sections of the coordinate plane

10. Challenge: If you move 3 units left and 2 units down from the point (1, 4), what are the new coordinates?
11. True or False: The point (-5, 0) lies on the y-axis.

True

False

12. Explain your answer to question 11:
