Example Questions

Example Question #21 : Geometry

What coordinate point is the blue circle on? 


Screen shot 2015 07 29 at 4.25.25 pm

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the location on a coordinate plane we first look at the -axis, which runs horizontal and then the -axis, which runs vertical. We write the point on the -axis first, followed by the point on the -axis. 

The blue circle is over  on the -axis and up  on the -axis.

Example Question #572 : Ssat Upper Level Quantitative (Math)

Starting at the coordinate point shown below, if you move up  and to the right , what is your new point?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The starting point is at . When we move up or down we are moving along the -axis. When we move to the right or left we are moving along the -axis. 

Moving up the -axis and moving right on the -axis means addition. 

Moving down the -axis and moving left on the axis means subtraction. 

Because we are moving up , we can add  to our  coordinate point and because we are moving to the right  we can add  to our coordinate point.
