The Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the definition of an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What are the coordinates of Point A if it is located at (4, 7)?

Back

The coordinates of Point A are (4, 7), where 4 is the x-coordinate and 7 is the y-coordinate.
