- (1, 1)
Show answer
(0, 0)A point is at (6, 2). How far along the x-axis is it?
- 2
- 4
- 6
- 8
Show answer
6In the coordinates (4, 7), the 4 tells you how far to go across first. (True or false?)
Show answer
TrueWhich point is 2 squares across and 8 squares up from the origin?
- (2, 2)
- (2, 8)
- (8, 2)
- (8, 8)
Show answer
(2, 8)The points (3, 5) and (5, 3) are in the same place on a grid. (True or false?)
Show answer
FalseA point at (2, 3) is translated 4 squares right. Where does it land?
- (2, 7)
- (6, 3)
- (6, 7)
- (−2, 3)
Show answer
(6, 3)A point at (5, 6) is translated 3 squares down. Where does it land?

Show answer
(5, 3)A triangle corner at (1, 2) moves 2 right and 3 up. Where is the corner now?
- (3, 4)
- (3, 5)
- (4, 4)
- (−1, −1)
Show answer
(3, 5)A point at (4, 4) is reflected in the vertical mirror line x = 2. Where is its image? (Answer out loud)
Show answer
(0, 4)Reflect the point (2, 5) in the vertical mirror line x = 4. Where is the image?
- (2, 3)
- (4, 5)
- (6, 3)
- (6, 5)
Show answer
(6, 5)When a shape is reflected in a mirror line, its image is the same size as the shape. (True or false?)
Show answer

Show answer
(5, 6)A point moves 4 right and 2 down and lands on (9, 3). Where did it start? (Answer out loud)
Show answer
(5, 5)A point at (3, 3) is reflected in the horizontal mirror line y = 5. Where is its image?
- (3, 2)
- (3, 7)
- (3, 8)
