Graphing Ordered Pairs

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on a graph.

Front

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

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 4 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the purpose of the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is used to visually represent ordered pairs and their relationships.

Front

What are the names of the two axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes are the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

If a point is located at (0, 5), what does this indicate?

Back

This indicates that the point is 0 units to the right of the origin and 5 units up.

Front

What is the value of the ordered pair (2, 3) when plotted on a graph?

Back

The point (2, 3) is located 2 units right and 3 units up from the origin.

Front

Which axis runs vertically?

Back

The y-axis runs vertically.
