Graphing Points Practice

Front

What is an ordered pair?

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).

Front

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

Back

The coordinates of a point on a graph are identified by its ordered pair, which indicates its position along the X-axis (horizontal) and Y-axis (vertical).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the X-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position of the point.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the Y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position of the point.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 4) on a graph?

Back

To plot the point (3, 4), move 3 units to the right along the X-axis and then 4 units up along the Y-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the origin point on a graph?

Back

The ordered pair for the origin point is (0, 0).

Front

If a point is located at (5, -3), what does the negative Y-coordinate indicate?

Back

The negative Y-coordinate indicates that the point is located 3 units below the X-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point B if it is located at (0, 2)?

Back

The ordered pair for point B is (0, 2), indicating it is on the Y-axis, 2 units above the origin.

Front

How can you determine which quadrant a point is in based on its ordered pair?

Back

You can determine the quadrant by looking at the signs of the X and Y coordinates: Quadrant I (positive, positive), Quadrant II (negative, positive), Quadrant III (negative, negative), Quadrant IV (positive, negative).

Front

What is the ordered pair for point C if it is located at (-4, 1)?

Back

The ordered pair for point C is (-4, 1), indicating it is 4 units to the left of the Y-axis and 1 unit above the X-axis.
