Plotting Points on the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the definition of an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line on a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line on a coordinate plane.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (3, 4)?

Back

Point (3, 4) is located in Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (-3, 4)?

Back

Point (-3, 4) is located in Quadrant II.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (-3, -4)?

Back

Point (-3, -4) is located in Quadrant III.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (3, -4)?

Back

Point (3, -4) is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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