point each)

1. The cartesian plane is divided into four parts which are called the ___.

Answer: Quadrants

2. An ordered pair is written in the form ___.

3-5. Given the linear equation 17x – 13y = -3, determine A, B, and C.
Answer:
A = 17
B = -13
C = -3
6. The y-axis is also called as the axis of ___.

Answer: Axis of Ordinate

7. It determines the steepness of a line.

Answer: Slope

8. What is the possibility if m > 0?

 Answer: Positive Slope

III. Plotting and Locating a Point

Direction: For A – D, determine the coordinates of the points. For E – I, plot the given coordinates in
the same cartesian plane. Do not forget to name each point. (1 point each)
I F

E -1

- 1
1

D C
A = (-7, 6) E = (– 8, 0) I = (0, 12)
B = (0, 12) F = (12, 12)
C = (13, -9) G = (– 3, – 7)
D = (-6, -9) H = (12, – 6)
IV. Slope

Direction: Solve for the slope of a line given two coordinates. (2 points each)
(-3, 7) (7, -5) (0, 0) (-4, -12) x1 = 3
x2 = −13
y1 = 0
y2 = −6

m = y2 – y1/x2 – x1 m = y2 – y1/x2 – x1 m = y2 – y1/x2 – x1

= -5 – 7/7 – (-3) = -12 – 0/-4 – 0 = -6 – 0/-13 – 3
= -12/10 = -12/-4 = -6/-16
= -6/5 = 3/1 = 3/8
