Example Questions
Example Question #21 : Graphing
In which quadrant or on which axis will we find the point ?
Quadrant II
Quadrant I
Quadrant IV
The -axis
The -axis
The -axis
By definition, any point in the coordinate plane that has a non-zero value -coordinate and a zero-value
-coordinate is on the
-axis.
Example Question #24 : Graphing
In which quadrant or on which axis of the coordinate plane will you find the point ?
Quadrant III
Quadrant I
The -axis
Quadrant II
Quadrant IV
Quadrant IV
A point with a positive -coordinate and a negative
-coordinate can be found in Quadrant IV.
Example Question #31 : Graphing
Write the ordered pair of points a, b, and c.
An ordered is always written in the following format:
where x is the position on the x-axis, and y is the position on the y-axis.
If we look at point a, we find where it falls on the x-axis. We can see that it's position on the x-axis is 1. Then, we see where it falls on the y-axis. It's position on the y-axis is 4. So, we can write the ordered pair for point a as
We will do the same for b. The position of point b on the x-axis is -5. The position of point b on the y-axis is 2. So, we can write the ordered pair for point b as
And finally for c. The position of point c on the x-axis is zero. The position of point c on the y-axis is -5. So, we can write the ordered pair of point c as
Example Question #11 : Graphing Points
Which of the following points is found in the second quadrant of a coordinate plane?
The following coordinate plane displays the different quandrants.
You can also see there is a point that has been graphed.
That point is (-3, 4).
Therefore, (-3, 4) can be found in the second quandrant of a coordinate plane.
Example Question #13 : Graphing Points
Find the midpoint of the following points:
(-5, 6) and (1, 2)
The midpoint formula is
where and
are the points given. So, using the points
(-5, 6) and (1, 2) we can substitute into the midpoint formula and get
Therefore, the midpoint is (-2, 4).
Example Question #14 : Graphing Points
Which quadrant does the coordinates belong to?
When looking at a coordinate plane, draw the letter C in there making sure you connect all four quarters of the grid. The C should start in the top right corner, move to the top left, then bottom left, then finish in the bottom right corner.
The quadrants start with and finish with
.
Therefore the coordinates means
to the right and
down which would place the coordinates in quadrant 4.
