Coordinate Grid

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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

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), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What does the point (0,0) represent on a coordinate grid?

Back

The point (0,0) is called the Origin. It is where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you move left on a coordinate grid?

Back

To move left on a coordinate grid, you subtract from the x-coordinate of the ordered pair.

Front

How do you move down on a coordinate grid?

Back

To move down on a coordinate grid, you subtract from the y-coordinate of the ordered pair.

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

What is the significance of the point (5,3)?

Back

The point (5,3) indicates a location on the coordinate grid where the x-coordinate is 5 and the y-coordinate is 3.

If you start at (3,8) and move 1 unit left and 3 units down, where do you end up?

Back

You end up at (2,5).

What is the purpose of a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is used to visually represent and locate points, lines, and shapes in a two-dimensional space.
