Plotting Coordinates on a Graph

Front

What are coordinates in a graph?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, typically represented as (x,y).

Front

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

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position on the graph.

Front

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

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position on the graph.

Front

How do you identify the origin on a graph?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented as (0,0).

Front

What is the correct format for writing an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written in the format (x,y).

Front

What is the significance of the order of coordinates in an ordered pair?

Back

The order is significant because it determines the position on the graph; the first number is the x-coordinate and the second is the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the purpose of the x-axis in a graph?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a graph that represents the x-coordinates.

Front

What is the purpose of the y-axis in a graph?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a graph that represents the y-coordinates.

Front

How do you plot a point on a graph using coordinates?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the coordinate for the point located at the intersection of x=4 and y=6?

Back

The coordinate is (4,6).
