Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (X, Y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair (X, Y)?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair (X, Y)?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid.

How do you write the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are written as an ordered pair in the form (X, Y).

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin on a coordinate grid?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).
