coordinate grid

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional space defined by a horizontal axis (x-axis) and a vertical axis (y-axis) where points are identified by ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

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 grid.

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 grid.

Front

In the ordered pair (2, 6), what is the value of the x-coordinate?

Back

2

Front

Which axis runs vertically on a coordinate grid?

Back

The y-axis runs vertically.

Front

Which axis runs horizontally on a coordinate grid?

Back

The x-axis runs horizontally.

Front

What is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect called?

Back

The origin.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.
