6th grade graphing review

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in a Cartesian plane?

Back

A point in a Cartesian plane is represented by an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

How do you plot the point (-2, -6) on a graph?

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 does the point (5, 2) represent in a graph?

Back

The point (5, 2) represents a specific location on the graph, often labeled as point B.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points on a graph?

Back

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the formula: Distance = |x2 - x1| + |y2 - y1|.

Front

What is the distance between the points (-3, 5) and (4, 5)?

Back

The distance between the points (-3, 5) and (4, 5) is 7 units.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, -12) on a graph?

Back

To plot the point (4, -12), move 4 units to the right on the x-axis and 12 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What is the distance between the points (-3, 4) and (-3, -3)?

Back

The distance between the points (-3, 4) and (-3, -3) is 7 units.

Front

What is the significance of the x-coordinate in a point?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the y-coordinate in a point?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean to move 'left' on a graph?

Back

Moving 'left' on a graph means decreasing the x-coordinate value.
