FCMS7 Ordered Pairs

Front

What are ordered pairs in mathematics?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to represent points in a coordinate plane, typically written in the form (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal coordinate and 'y' is the vertical coordinate.

Front

What is the coordinate of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates for the origin in the coordinate plane are (0, 0).

Front

In which quadrant is Point C located if its coordinates are (3, -4)?

Back

Point C is located in Quadrant 4, where x is positive and y is negative.

Front

What are the coordinates for Point A if it is located in Quadrant 1?

Back

The coordinates for Point A in Quadrant 1 will have both x and y values as positive.

Front

How do you determine the quadrant of a point given its coordinates?

Back

To determine the quadrant of a point, check the signs of the x and y coordinates: Quadrant 1 (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant 2 (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant 3 (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant 4 (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

What is the significance of the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate indicates the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

If a point has coordinates (-2, 5), in which quadrant is it located?

Back

The point (-2, 5) is located in Quadrant 2, where x is negative and y is positive.

Front

What are the coordinates for Point N if it is located at (6, 6)?

Back

The coordinates for Point N are (6, 6), which is in Quadrant 1.

Front

What is the relationship between the signs of the coordinates and the quadrants?

Back

The signs of the coordinates determine the quadrant: Quadrant 1 (positive, positive), Quadrant 2 (negative, positive), Quadrant 3 (negative, negative), Quadrant 4 (positive, negative).
