WIN Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the definition of an ordered pair in the coordinate plane?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, 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 labeled with a letter on a coordinate plane?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point labeled with a letter, locate the point on the coordinate plane and read the x-coordinate (horizontal position) and y-coordinate (vertical position) from the axes.

Front

What does the point (-1, 2) represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (-1, 2) represents a location where you move 1 unit to the left on the x-axis and 2 units up on the y-axis.

Front

How do you plot the point (2, 4) on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot the point (2, 4), move 2 units to the right on the x-axis and 4 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the first number in an ordered pair?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, indicating the horizontal position of the point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the second number in an ordered pair?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, indicating the vertical position of the point on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (-7, -5) on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot the point (-7, -5), move 7 units to the left on the x-axis and 5 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates for point N?

Back

The coordinates for point N are (7, 9), meaning you move 7 units to the right and 9 units up.

Front

What is the method to plot the point (-2, -6)?

Back

To plot the point (-2, -6), move 2 units to the left on the x-axis and 6 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What is the relationship between the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate determines the horizontal position, while the y-coordinate determines the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.
