Important Questions from Orienting Yourself : The Use of Coordinates

1multiple correct

In a coordinate plane, a point B is at (4.5, 0), a point G is at (0, -4.5), and a point H is at (0, 4). Which statements about these points are correct?

Show answer

B lies on the x-axis,G lies on the y-axis below the origin,H lies on the y-axis above the origin

B has y-coordinate 0, so it lies on the x-axis. G has x-coordinate 0 and negative y, so it lies on the y-axis below the origin. H has x-coordinate 0 and positive y, so it lies on the y-axis above the origin.

A point S is at (3, -5) and a point Q is at (-5, 3). Which statements about their quadrants are correct?

Show answer

S lies in Quadrant IV,Q lies in Quadrant II

S = (3, -5) has positive x and negative y, so it is in Quadrant IV. Q = (-5, 3) has negative x and positive y, so it is in Quadrant II.

In the coordinate plane, which statements about the coordinates of a point are correct?

Show answer

The x-coordinate is the perpendicular distance from the y-axis measured along the x-axis,The y-coordinate is the perpendicular distance from the x-axis measured along the y-axis

For a point (x, y), x measures the perpendicular distance from the y-axis along the x-axis, and y measures the perpendicular distance from the x-axis along the y-axis.

A point P has coordinates (x, 0). Which statements about P are correct?

Show answer

P lies on the x-axis,If x is positive, P lies to the right of the origin

A point of the form (x, 0) lies on the x-axis. Positive x means right of the origin; negative x means left of the origin.
