Coordinate Graphing

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane, while the y-axis is the vertical line.

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 first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the position along the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the position along the y-axis.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, 4) located?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, -1) located?

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (4, -2) located?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the origin on a coordinate plane?

Back

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