Plotting Points

What is an ordered pair in a coordinate system?

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

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

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane, indicating how far to move left or right from the origin.

Front

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

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane, indicating how far to move up or down from the origin.

Front

What is 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).

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 2) on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot the point (3, 2), start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right along the x-axis, and then move 2 units up along the y-axis.

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to graph points, lines, and curves.

Front

What letter corresponds to the ordered pair (5, 4)?

Back

The letter corresponding to the ordered pair (5, 4) is M.

Front

What letter corresponds to the ordered pair (-7, -5)?

Back

The letter corresponding to the ordered pair (-7, -5) is P.

Front

What letter is at the coordinates (-3, 7)?

Back

The letter at the coordinates (-3, 7) is E.

Front

What are the coordinates for point B?

Back

The coordinates for point B are (-9, 1).
