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

A point at (2,3)(2, 3) moves 4 units right. What is the new point?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is (6,3)(6, 3).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Add 4 to the x-coordinate: 2 + 4 = 6; y remains 3.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (6,3)(6, 3).

Add 4 to the x-coordinate: 2 + 4 = 6; y remains 3.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A point at (7,1)(7, 1) moves 2 units left. What is the new point?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is (5,1)(5, 1).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Subtract 2 from the x-coordinate: 7 − 2 = 5; y remains 1.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (5,1)(5, 1).

Subtract 2 from the x-coordinate: 7 − 2 = 5; y remains 1.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A point at (3,4)(3, 4) moves 3 units up. What is the new point?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is (3,7)(3, 7).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Add 3 to the y-coordinate: 4 + 3 = 7; x remains 3.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (3,7)(3, 7).

Add 3 to the y-coordinate: 4 + 3 = 7; x remains 3.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A point at (5,8)(5, 8) moves 5 units down. What is the new point?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is (5,3)(5, 3).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: Subtract 5 from the y-coordinate: 8 − 5 = 3; x remains 5.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (5,3)(5, 3).

Subtract 5 from the y-coordinate: 8 − 5 = 3; x remains 5.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the vertical distance between (1,2)(1, 2) and (1,6)(1, 6)?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 4 units.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The x-coordinates match, so count the y-coordinate change: 6 − 2 = 4 units.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 4 units.

The x-coordinates match, so count the y-coordinate change: 6 − 2 = 4 units.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

What is the horizontal distance between (2,5)(2, 5) and (7,5)(7, 5)?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 5 units.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The y-coordinates match, so count the x-coordinate change: 7 − 2 = 5 units.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 5 units.

The y-coordinates match, so count the x-coordinate change: 7 − 2 = 5 units.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

To move from (3,3)(3, 3) to (6,7)(6, 7), which movement is needed?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 3 units right and 4 units up.

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The x-coordinate increases by 3 and the y-coordinate increases by 4.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is 3 units right and 4 units up.

The x-coordinate increases by 3 and the y-coordinate increases by 4.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A point at (4,4)(4, 4) moves 2 units left and 1 unit down. What is the new point?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is (2,3)(2, 3).

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

Subtract 2 from x and 1 from y: (4 − 2, 4 − 1) = (2, 3).

9. QuestionMultiple choice

A point (x,y)(x, y) moves 2 units right. Which rule gives the new point?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is (x+2,y)(x + 2, y).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: A right move changes only x, so add 2 to x and keep y unchanged.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (x+2,y)(x + 2, y).

A right move changes only x, so add 2 to x and keep y unchanged.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

Which point is 2 units right and 5 units up from the origin?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is (2,5)(2, 5).

  1. Read the ordered pair: Identify the horizontal x-coordinate first and the vertical y-coordinate second.
  2. Plot or compare: The horizontal move gives x = 2 and the vertical move gives y = 5.
  3. Check the choice: The correct choice is (2,5)(2, 5).

The horizontal move gives x = 2 and the vertical move gives y = 5.
