Ordered Pairs in All Four Quadrants

Where we left off

Our goal: With my small group, I can plot ordered pairs in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane — one step at a time, with support.

The big idea: The sign of x tells left or right, the sign of y tells up or down, and together the signs name the quadrant.

Model to copy — Example 1 · Two negative coordinates

  1. Plot the point (−3, −4). Name the quadrant it is in.
  2. Start at the origin: (0, 0)
  3. Read x. Move left 3 units: x = −3 → left 3
  4. Read y. Move down 4 units: y = −4 → down 4
  5. Use the signs to name the quadrant: (−, −) → Quadrant III
  6. (−3, −4) is in Quadrant III.

Start here

Use the model to solve the first problem. Then try these quick review questions from earlier lessons.

  1. 1

    Same stepsFinish what the group started. Use the model above, step for step.

    Let's do one together:
    1. Plot the point (−5, 2). Name the quadrant it is in.
    2. The x is −5. Which way do we move, and how far? (Left 5 units.)
    3. The y is 2. Which way do we move, and how far? (Up 2 units.)
    4. Left and up puts the point in which quadrant? (Quadrant II)

    My first step is ___ , because the problem asks for ___ .

    2. BQuadrant III
    3. CQuadrant II
    4. DQuadrant IV

    Why is that the answer?

    3. CThe library (−3, 4)
    4. DThe hospital (−4, −1)

    Explain your thinking.

    I chose ___ because ___ .

  4. 8

    Back to the modelHow do the signs of the x- and y-coordinates tell you which quadrant a point is in?

    In Quadrant ___, the x-coordinate is ___ and the y-coordinate is ___. I know (-3, -4) is in Quadrant ___ because both coordinates are ___.

    Find the mistakeRead the mistake. Explain what went wrong, then show the correct step.

    The mistake: A common mistake in Ordered Pairs in All Four Quadrants is matching each sign to the wrong axis — for example, seeing (-2, 5) and thinking "the x is negative so I move DOWN, and the y is positive so I move RIGHT," which lands the point in Quadrant IV.
  2. 10

    Say morePlot (-3, -4). Which quadrant is it in, and how do the negative coordinates change the directions you move from the origin?

    A negative x means I move ___.

    Change one numberGo back to Part 1 and pick one problem you already solved. Change one number in it, then solve your new version. Show every step.

    If ___ changed to ___ , then ___ .

These two come from Lesson 7.7. If they are shaky, that is the lesson to revisit — not this one.

  1. 12

    Show what you knowQuick check — you've got this: A point has a negative x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate. Which quadrant is it in?

    1. AQuadrant III
    2. BQuadrant I
    3. CQuadrant II
    4. DQuadrant IV

    Explain your choice.

    I know it is ___ because ___ .

  2. 13

    From Lesson 7.7Quick check — you've got this: A rectangle has vertices (-1, 4), (5, 4), (5, 1), (-1, 1). What is its perimeter?

    1. A6 units
    2. B9 units
    3. C18 units
    4. D18 square units
  3. 14

    From Lesson 7.7The park's length is 800 feet, and each grid unit represents 100 feet. How many units below the known vertices do the new corners sit?

    1. A0.8 units
    2. B8 units
