Coordinate Graphing

Front

What is 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-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, -2) located?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-4, 5) located?

Back

Quadrant II.

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.

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, y) on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, y) lies on the y-axis.
