Graphing on coordinate plane

Front

What is an ordered pair in the context of a coordinate plane?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point on a coordinate plane, typically written in the form (x, y), where x is the horizontal coordinate and y is the vertical coordinate.

Front

What does the coordinate (0, -6) represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate (0, -6) represents a point located on the y-axis, 6 units below the origin.

Front

How do you determine the distance of a number from zero on a number line?

Back

The distance of a number from zero on a number line is determined by its absolute value, denoted as |x|.

Front

What is the significance of the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the point (0, 2) indicate on a coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, 2) indicates a location on the y-axis, 2 units above the origin.

Front

How can you identify points on the coordinate plane?

Back

Points on the coordinate plane can be identified using their ordered pairs (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

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 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

What does it mean for a point to be 'furthest from 0' on a number line?

Back

A point is considered 'furthest from 0' on a number line if its absolute value is the largest among the given points.
