Graphing - First Quadrant

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). The first number represents the x-coordinate, and the second number represents the y-coordinate.

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, indicating how far to move left or right from the origin.

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, indicating how far to move up or down from the origin.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify a point on a graph?

Back

To identify a point on a graph, locate the x-coordinate on the horizontal axis and the y-coordinate on the vertical axis, then find where they intersect.

Front

What is the first quadrant in a coordinate plane?

Back

The first quadrant is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is the ordered pair of point D if it is located at (3, 4)?

Back

(3, 4)

Front

What is the ordered pair of point B if it is located at (2, 8)?

Back

(2, 8)

Front

If a point is located at (5, 7), what letter is represented at that point?

Back

C

Front

What is the significance of the order of numbers in an ordered pair?

Back

The order of numbers in an ordered pair is important because it determines the exact location of the point on the graph; (x, y) is different from (y, x).
