Front

What is the x-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The vertical line in a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on a coordinate plane.

Front

How do you graph the point (3, 4)?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units right (x-axis), then 4 units up (y-axis).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

If a point has coordinates (5, -2), where is it located?

Back

5 units right and 2 units down from the origin.

Front

What is the coordinate of a point on the y-axis?

Back

Any point on the y-axis has an x-coordinate of 0.

Front

What is the coordinate of a point on the x-axis?

Back

Any point on the x-axis has a y-coordinate of 0.
