Plotting Points (2)

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, 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 plane.

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 plane.

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 is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line in a coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 2) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-coordinate), and then 2 units up (y-coordinate).

Front

What quadrant is the point (4, -3) located in?

Back

The point (4, -3) is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

What quadrant is the point (-2, 5) located in?

Back

The point (-2, 5) is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 1) and (1, 4)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, as they share the same x-coordinate.
