Part A: Identify Parts of the Coordinate Plane

Directions: Fill in the blanks with the correct term: x-axis, y-axis, origin, or ordered pair.

1. The point (0, 0) where the two axes cross is called the _________________.

2. The horizontal number line is called the _________________.

3. The vertical number line is called the _________________.

4. A pair of numbers like (3, 5) that describes a location is called an _________________.

Part B: Plot the Points

Directions: Plot and label each point on the coordinate plane.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

5. Plot point A at (3, 5)

6. Plot point B at (7, 2)

7. Plot point C at (0, 6)

8. Plot point D at (4, 0)

9. Plot point E at (8, 8)

10. Plot point F at (1, 4)

Part C: Read the Coordinates

Directions: Write the ordered pair for each labeled point.
G H J K L 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6

11. Point G: (, )

12. Point H: (, )
