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?

Back

An ordered pair represents a specific location on a coordinate grid, written as (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

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 read the coordinates (3, 5)?

Back

The first number (3) represents the position on the x-axis, and the second number (5) represents the position on 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 coordinates (0, 0).

Front

If a point is located at (2, 4), what is its x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 2.

Front

If a point is located at (6, 1), what is its y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 1.

Front

What does it mean to move 1 mile east on a coordinate grid?

Back

Moving 1 mile east means increasing the x-coordinate by 1 while keeping the y-coordinate the same.

Front

What does it mean to move 4 miles north on a coordinate grid?

Back

Moving 4 miles north means increasing the y-coordinate by 4 while keeping the x-coordinate the same.
