Front

What is an ordered pair in coordinate geometry?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in a two-dimensional space, typically written in the form (x, y), where x is the horizontal coordinate and y is the vertical coordinate.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a graph?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point on a graph, locate the point's position relative to the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical). The x-coordinate is the distance from the y-axis, and the y-coordinate is the distance from the x-axis.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on a graph, indicating how far left or right the point is from the origin (0,0).

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on a graph, indicating how far up or down the point is from the origin (0,0).

Front

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

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0,0). It serves as the reference point for all other points in the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot an ordered pair on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot an ordered pair (x, y), start at the origin (0,0), move x units along the x-axis (right for positive, left for negative), and then move y units parallel to the y-axis (up for positive, down for negative).

Front

What is the distance between the points (0,4) and (0,0)?

Back

The distance between the points (0,4) and (0,0) is 4 units, as they lie on the same vertical line along the y-axis.

Front

What shape is formed by points that are all 1 unit away from the x-axis?

Back

The shape formed by points that are all 1 unit away from the x-axis is a horizontal line at y = 1 and y = -1, which can also be visualized as two parallel lines.

Front

How can you determine if two points are on the same vertical line?

Back

Two points are on the same vertical line if they have the same x-coordinate, meaning they share the same horizontal position on the graph.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point C if it is located at 3 units right and 4 units up from the origin?

Back

The ordered pair for point C is (3, 4).
