Grade 5 Coordinate Plane Practice Test

Build Grade 5 Math skills with five 10-question practice tests on ordered pairs, x- and y-coordinates, axes, plotting points, movement, distance, and coordinate-plane word problems.

Coordinate Plane Practice Tests

These Grade 5 Math practice tests help students read and use coordinates in the first quadrant. Students practice ordered pairs, x- and y-coordinates, axes, plotting points, moving points, measuring horizontal and vertical distances, and solving rectangle problems on a coordinate plane.

Skills covered

  • Reading and writing ordered pairs as (x, y)
  • Identifying x-coordinates and y-coordinates
  • Locating the origin and points on the axes
  • Moving points horizontally and vertically
  • Finding horizontal and vertical distances
  • Using coordinates to describe rectangles and word problems

How to use these practice tests

Read the first coordinate as the horizontal move and the second coordinate as the vertical move. Plot from the origin, compare x- or y-values as needed, and keep the coordinate order unchanged.

1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which coordinate names a point 1 unit right and 6 units up from the origin?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is (1,6)(1, 6).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Move right 1 for x = 1, then up 6 for y = 6: (1, 6).
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (1,6)(1, 6).

Move right 1 for x = 1, then up 6 for y = 6: (1, 6).

2. QuestionMultiple choice

Point A is at (5,2)(5, 2). What is its x-coordinate?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 5.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The first value in the ordered pair is the x-coordinate: 5.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 5.

The first value in the ordered pair is the x-coordinate: 5.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Point B is at (3,7)(3, 7). What is its y-coordinate?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 7.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The second value in the ordered pair is the y-coordinate: 7.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 7.

The second value in the ordered pair is the y-coordinate: 7.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which point has x = 4 and y = 1?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is (4,1)(4, 1).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Use the format (x, y): (4, 1) has x = 4 and y = 1.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (4,1)(4, 1).

Use the format (x, y): (4, 1) has x = 4 and y = 1.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which point is higher: (2,8)(2, 8) or (2,5)(2, 5)?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is (2,8)(2, 8).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The y-coordinate 8 is greater than 5, so (2, 8) is higher.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (2,8)(2, 8).

The y-coordinate 8 is greater than 5, so (2, 8) is higher.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Two points have the same x-coordinate. What kind of line connects them?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is A vertical line.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Changing only the y-coordinate moves a point up or down, making a vertical line.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is A vertical line.

Changing only the y-coordinate moves a point up or down, making a vertical line.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Two points have the same y-coordinate. What kind of line connects them?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is A horizontal line.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Changing only the x-coordinate moves a point left or right, making a horizontal line.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is A horizontal line.

Changing only the x-coordinate moves a point left or right, making a horizontal line.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

From the origin, move 4 units right and 3 units up. Which point do you reach?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is (4,3)(4, 3).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Right gives x = 4 and up gives y = 3, so the point is (4, 3).
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (4,3)(4, 3).

Right gives x = 4 and up gives y = 3, so the point is (4, 3).

9. QuestionMultiple choice

Which point lies on the x-axis?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is (6,0)(6, 0).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: A point on the x-axis has a y-coordinate of 0.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (6,0)(6, 0).

A point on the x-axis has a y-coordinate of 0.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

What information must an ordered pair give?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The horizontal position and the vertical position of a point.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The x-coordinate gives horizontal position and the y-coordinate gives vertical position.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is The horizontal position and the vertical position of a point.

The x-coordinate gives horizontal position and the y-coordinate gives vertical position.
