What is the vertical line on the coordinate plane?

The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane.

100

In what quadrant will you find (3, 5)?


Since both x and y are positive (3, 5), must be in quadrant I.

100

What is the distance between (0, 5) and (5, 5)?


Since there is only a change along the x-axis, the distance between (0, 5) and (5, 5) is 5 units.

100

What shape would be drawn if points are placed at 

A: (-1, 1),  B: (1, -1), and C: (-1, -1)


if lines are placed between A: (-1, 1),  B: (1, -1), and C: (-1, -1) a triangle is drawn.

I am taken from a mine and shut in a wooden case, from which I am never released. Yet, I am used by almost everyone. What am I?

I am a Pencil

200

What is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane?

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane.

200

In what quadrant will you find (23, -15)?

Since x is positive and y is negative (23, -15), must be in quadrant IV.

200

What is the distance between (-3, 2) and (-3, 8)?


Since there is only a change along the y-axis and both coordinates are in the same quadrant, the distance can be found by subtracting |8| - |2|. The distance is 6 units.

200

What shape would be drawn if points are placed at 

A: (-2, 2), B: (2, 2), C: (2, -2), D: (-2, -2)

if lines are placed between 

A: (-2, 2), B: (2, 2), C: (2, -2), D: (-2, -2) 

a square is drawn.

200

I am full of keys, but I can't open any locks. What am I?

I am a piano

300

What is the name given to the coordinates (0, 0)?

The name given to the coordinates (0, 0) is the origin.

300

In what quadrant will you find (-9, 2)?


Since x is negative and y is positive (-9, 2), must be in quadrant II.

300

What is the distance between (4, 8) and (-7, 8)?


Since there is only a change along the x-axis and the coordinates are in different quadrants, the distance can be found by adding | 4| + |-7| which is 11 units.

300

What shape would be drawn if points are placed at 

A: (-3, 2),  B: (3, 2), C: (3, -2), D: (-3, -2)

if lines are placed between 

A: (-3, 2),  B: (3, 2), C: (3, -2), D: (-3, -2)

a rectangle is drawn.

300

I have cities but no houses, forests but no trees, and rivers but no water. What am I?

I am a map.

400

On a coordinate plane, how many quadrants are there, and how are they numbered using Roman numerals?

There are four Quadrants on a coordinate plane and they are numbered using roman numerals. They start in the top right corner and go counter-clockwise.

400

In what quadrant will you find (-15, 10)?


Since x is negative and y is positive (-15, 10), must be in quadrant II.

400

What is the distance between (0, -4) and (0, -9)?


Since there is only a change along the y-axis and both coordinates are in the same quadrant, the distance can be found by subtracting | -4| - |-9| which is 5 units.

400

What shape would be drawn if points are placed at 

A: (-3, 2),  B: (3, 2), C: (2, -2), D: (-2, -2)


if lines are placed between 

A: (-3, 2),  B: (3, 2), C: (2, -2), D: (-2, -2)

a trapezoid is drawn.

400

I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?

I am an Echo, echo...echo

500

"How do the points in quadrant I differ from the points in quadrant III?"

In quadrant I, all points must have positive values for both the x and y coordinates, while in quadrant III, all points must have negative values for both the x and y coordinates.

500

Which quadrant is (0,5)?

Since x is 0 and y is positive you can say the point is not in any quadrant or you can say it is between quadrant I and quadrant II.

500

What is the distance between (-3, 5) and (7, 5)?


Since there is only a change along the x-axis and the coordinates are in different quadrants, the distance can be found by adding | -3| + |7| which is 10 units.

500

What shape would be drawn if points are placed at 

A: (-8, 2), B: (5, 2), C: (7, -4), D: (-3, -7), E: (-6, 4)


if lines are placed between 

A: (-8, 2), B: (5, 2), C: (7, -4), D: (-3, -7), E: (-6, 4)

a pentagon is drawn.
