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.

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.

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).
