Example Question #1 :How To Graph An Ordered Pair

The pointsandare plotted on a quadrant. Which graph depicts the correct points?

Possible Answers:

Question_4_correct

Question_4_incorrect_1

Question_4_incorrect_3

Question_4_incorrect_2

Correct answer:

Question_4_correct

Explanation:

A quadrant is set up in such a way that the positive numbers are to the right and top, while the negative numbers are to the left and bottom. The x-value (the first number in the ordered pair) is the distance left or right from the center. The y-value (the second number in the ordered pair) is the distance above or below the axis.

will beunits to the right, andunits up.

will beunits to the left, andunits up.

Example Question #2 :How To Graph An Ordered Pair

Which of the followiing quadrants would contain the point?

Possible Answers:

None of the other answers is correct.

Quadrant III

Quadrant IV

Quadrant I

Quadrant II

Correct answer:

None of the other answers is correct.

Explanation:

has 0 as its-cordinate and is therefore on the-axis, which is not part of any of the four quadrants.

Example Question #3 :How To Graph An Ordered Pair

Which of the following points would be in Quadrant III on the coordinate plane?

Possible Answers:

None of the points listed would be in Quadrant III.

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Quadrant III comprises the points whose- and- coordinates are both negative. This makesthe correct choice.
