Which ordered pair represents the origin on a coordinate plane?
(1, 1)
(1, 0)
(0, 0)
(0, 1)
The origin is the point where both the x and y coordinates are 0. This is the intersection of the horizontal and vertical axes.
What does the x-coordinate in an ordered pair indicate?
Depth position
Angular direction
Vertical position
Horizontal position
The x-coordinate shows the horizontal placement of a point on the plane. It indicates how far right or left the point is from the origin.
In the point (3, -2), which quadrant is it located in?
Quadrant II
Quadrant I
Quadrant III
Quadrant IV
Because the x-coordinate (3) is positive and the y-coordinate (-2) is negative, the point lies in Quadrant IV. Understanding the sign of coordinates helps determine the quadrant.
Which axis does the point (0, 5) lie on?
None
y-axis
Origin
x-axis
Since the x-coordinate is 0, the point (0, 5) falls directly on the y-axis. Points on the y-axis have an x-coordinate of zero.
What are the coordinates of a point 4 units to the right of the origin and 3 units above it?
(3, 4)
(4, -3)
(-4, 3)
(4, 3)
Moving 4 units to the right along the x-axis and 3 units up along the y-axis gives the coordinates (4, 3). The order of coordinates reflects the horizontal then vertical displacement.
Which quadrant does the point (-6, 8) lie in?
Quadrant II
Quadrant III
Quadrant I
Quadrant IV
Since -6 is negative and 8 is positive, the point is located in Quadrant II. The negative x-coordinate and positive y-coordinate are the defining characteristics of Quadrant II.
What is the reflection of the point (2, 5) across the x-axis?
(2, -5)
(-2, -5)
(-2, 5)
(2, 5)
Reflecting a point across the x-axis inverts the sign of the y-coordinate while leaving the x-coordinate the same, resulting in (2, -5). Reflection means flipping the point over the horizontal line.
If the point (7, 4) is translated 3 units left and 2 units down, what are its new coordinates?
(4, 2)
(10, 6)
(4, 6)
(10, 2)
Subtracting 3 from the x-coordinate and 2 from the y-coordinate transforms (7, 4) into (4, 2). This represents a translation left and downward.
Which of the following is always true for any point on the y-axis?
The x-coordinate is 0
The y-coordinate is 0
The point is in Quadrant I
Both coordinates are 0
Any point on the y-axis will have an x-coordinate of 0 because it lies vertically along that axis. This is a fundamental property of the coordinate system.
Where is the point (-3, -7) located on the coordinate plane?
Quadrant III
Quadrant I
Quadrant IV
Quadrant II
Both coordinates are negative, placing (-3, -7) in Quadrant III. This quadrant is defined by negative x and negative y values.
Increasing the x-coordinate of a point while keeping the y-coordinate constant results in which of the following movements?
Moving downward
Moving upward
Moving to the right
Moving to the left
Changing the x-coordinate directly affects horizontal movement, and a larger x-coordinate means the point moves further to the right. The y-coordinate remains unchanged in this translation.
What is the mirror image of the point (5, -2) when reflected over the y-axis?
(5, -2)
(-5, -2)
(5, 2)
(-5, 2)
Reflection across the y-axis changes the sign of the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate unchanged, resulting in (-5, -2). This is the standard reflection rule for the y-axis.
Which ordered pair represents a point in Quadrant II?
(4, -6)
(-4, -6)
(-4, 6)
(4, 6)
Quadrant II is defined by a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate. Therefore, (-4, 6) lies in Quadrant II.
Where does the point (0, -9) lie on a coordinate plane?
In Quadrant III
In Quadrant IV
On the x-axis
On the y-axis
Since the x-coordinate is 0, the point (0, -9) lies on the y-axis regardless of the y-coordinate's value. Points on an axis are not considered part of any quadrant.
The ordered pair (8, 0) indicates that the point lies where?
On the y-axis
On the x-axis
In Quadrant I
At the origin
The y-coordinate is 0, meaning the point (8, 0) is located on the x-axis. Points along the x-axis always have a y-coordinate of 0.
What are the coordinates of the point (-2, 7) after being reflected over the line y = x?
(-7, 2)
(2, -7)
(-2, 7)
(7, -2)
Reflection over the line y = x swaps the x and y coordinates. Thus, (-2, 7) becomes (7, -2), which is the correct reflected image.
If two points are equidistant from the y-axis, what must be true about their coordinates?
Their coordinates are reflections across the line y = x
Their x-coordinates are identical
Their y-coordinates are opposites
The absolute values of their x-coordinates are equal
Points equidistant from the y-axis have x-coordinates that are equal in absolute value, though they might differ in sign. This property ensures that the distance from the y-axis is the same for both points.
A student plots two points, (3, 4) and (-3, 4). Which line acts as the axis of symmetry for these points?
y-axis
Line y = x
The origin
x-axis
The two points are symmetric across the y-axis because their x-coordinates are opposites while their y-coordinates remain the same. This symmetry indicates that the y-axis divides the points evenly.
What are the coordinates of the reflection of any point (x, y) when reflected across the origin?
(-x, -y)
(y, x)
(-x, y)
(x, -y)
Reflecting a point across the origin changes the sign of both the x and y coordinates, resulting in (-x, -y). This is a common transformation on the coordinate plane.
A point undergoes two transformations: first, it is reflected across the x-axis, then it is translated 5 units to the right. What are the final coordinates if the original point is (-1, 3)?
(4, -3)
(4, 3)
(-6, -3)
(-6, 3)
Reflection across the x-axis changes (-1, 3) to (-1, -3). Adding 5 to the x-coordinate then gives (4, -3). This sequential transformation leads to the final result.
