Cartesian Plane Skills Test
Use the horizontal axis for x-coordinates and the vertical axis for y-coordinates. Move along the x-axis first, then the y-axis. Write coordinates in the order (x, y).
Identify and draw
1.Draw a Cartesian plane with each axis labelled from −5 to 5. Include the origin and label the four quadrants with Roman numerals.
Use this space to draw your Cartesian plane.
2.Which quadrant contains a point with x-coordinate −3 and y-coordinate 6?
- Quadrant I
- Upper-left quadrant
- Quadrant III
- Quadrant IV
3.Complete each statement with the correct quadrant number: positive x and positive y; negative x and positive y; negative x and negative y; positive x and negative y.
Plot and interpret coordinates
4.On your Cartesian plane, plot and label P (2, 4), Q (−3, 2), R (−4, −2), S (1, −3), and T (0, 3).
5.A point is 5 units left and 3 units down from the origin. Write its coordinates.
6.A point is 4 units right and 2 units up from the origin. Write its coordinates.

7.Using the coordinate labels in the grid above, what are the coordinates of point O?
8.Point M is at (−2, 3). Move it 4 units right and 5 units down. What are its new coordinates?
9.Give two different points in Quadrant III whose x- and y-coordinates are equal.
10.In your own words, describe what the origin tells you about a point's position.
