Example Question #921 : Isee Lower Level (Grades 5 6) Quantitative Reasoning

Which of the following corresponds with the point \(\displaystyle (3, 3)\)?

7

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle D\)

\(\displaystyle B\)

\(\displaystyle A\)

\(\displaystyle C\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle A\)

Explanation:

Recall that in a coordinate \(\displaystyle (x, y)\), the first number corresponds to how to move on the horizontal x-axis, and the second number corresponds to how to move on the veritcal y-axis.

Every time you see a positive number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the right. Every time you see a negative number in the x-coordinate, you will move to the left.

When you see a positive number in the y-coordinate, you will move up. When you see a negative number in the y-coordinate, you will move down.

To get to the point \(\displaystyle (3, 3)\), move \(\displaystyle 3\) units to the right on the x-axis, then move \(\displaystyle 3\) units up on the y-axis.

Example Question #1942 : Common Core Math: Grade 5

Starting at the coordinate point shown below, if you move up \(\displaystyle 10\) and to the right \(\displaystyle 9\), what is your new point? 

Screen shot 2015 07 30 at 8.51.14 am

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle (16,16)\)

\(\displaystyle (14,14)\)

\(\displaystyle (15,15)\)

\(\displaystyle (13,13)\)

\(\displaystyle (12,12)\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle (12,12)\)

Explanation:

The starting point is at \(\displaystyle (3,2)\). When we move up or down we are moving along the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis. When we move to the right or left we are moving along the \(\displaystyle x\)-axis. 

Moving up the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis and moving right on the \(\displaystyle x\)-axis means addition. 

Moving down the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis and moving left on the \(\displaystyle x-\)axis means subtraction. 

Because we are moving up \(\displaystyle 10\), we can add \(\displaystyle 10\) to our \(\displaystyle y\) coordinate point and because we are moving to the right \(\displaystyle 9\) we can add \(\displaystyle 9\) to our \(\displaystyle x\)coordinate point. 

\(\displaystyle 2+10=12\)

\(\displaystyle 3+9=12\)

\(\displaystyle (12,12)\)

Example Question #1943 : Common Core Math: Grade 5

Starting at the coordinate point shown below, if you move up \(\displaystyle 2\) and to the right \(\displaystyle 8\), what is your new point? 


Screen shot 2015 07 30 at 8.51.14 am

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle (4,11)\)

\(\displaystyle (3,7)\)

\(\displaystyle (12,5)\)

\(\displaystyle (11,4)\)

\(\displaystyle (7,3)\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle (11,4)\)

Explanation:

The starting point is at \(\displaystyle (3,2)\). When we move up or down we are moving along the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis. When we move to the right or left we are moving along the \(\displaystyle x\)-axis. 

Moving up the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis and moving right on the \(\displaystyle x\)-axis means addition. 

Moving down the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis and moving left on the \(\displaystyle x-\)axis means subtraction. 

Because we are moving up \(\displaystyle 2\), we can add \(\displaystyle 2\) to our \(\displaystyle y\) coordinate point and because we are moving to the right \(\displaystyle 8\) we can add \(\displaystyle 8\) to our \(\displaystyle x\)coordinate point. 

\(\displaystyle 2+2=4\)

\(\displaystyle 3+8=11\)

\(\displaystyle (11,4)\)

Example Question #1944 : Common Core Math: Grade 5

Starting at the coordinate point shown below, if you move up \(\displaystyle 6\) and to the right \(\displaystyle 4\), what is your new point? 


Screen shot 2015 07 30 at 8.51.14 am

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle (11,10)\)

\(\displaystyle (9,10)\)

\(\displaystyle (14,13)\)

\(\displaystyle (7,8)\)

\(\displaystyle (12,13)\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle (7,8)\)

Explanation:

The starting point is at \(\displaystyle (3,2)\). When we move up or down we are moving along the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis. When we move to the right or left we are moving along the \(\displaystyle x\)-axis. 

Moving up the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis and moving right on the \(\displaystyle x\)-axis means addition. 

Moving down the \(\displaystyle y\)-axis and moving left on the \(\displaystyle x-\)axis means subtraction. 

Because we are moving up \(\displaystyle 6\), we can add \(\displaystyle 6\) to our \(\displaystyle y\) coordinate point and because we are moving to the right \(\displaystyle 4\) we can add \(\displaystyle 4\) to our \(\displaystyle x\)coordinate point. 

\(\displaystyle 2+6=8\)

\(\displaystyle 3+4=7\)

\(\displaystyle (7,8)\)
