coordinate grids

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What does an ordered pair represent in a coordinate grid?

Back

An ordered pair represents a specific point on the coordinate grid, with the first number indicating the position on the x-axis and the second number indicating the position on the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate grid where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate grid where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you identify a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To identify a point, use its ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' is the distance from the origin along the x-axis and 'y' is the distance along the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

If a point is at (4, 6), what does the '4' represent?

Back

The '4' represents the position on the x-axis, meaning the point is 4 units to the right of the origin.

Front

If a point is at (4, 6), what does the '6' represent?

Back

The '6' represents the position on the y-axis, meaning the point is 6 units above the origin.

Front

Which axis runs horizontally?

Back

The x-axis runs horizontally.

Front

Which axis runs vertically?

Back

The y-axis runs vertically.
