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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are the axes in a Coordinate Grid?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate grid.

Front

What is the Origin in a Coordinate Grid?

Back

The Origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0,0).

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 first number in an Ordered Pair represent?

Back

The first number in an Ordered Pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.

Front

What does the second number in an Ordered Pair represent?

Back

The second number in an Ordered Pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.

Front

How do you plot the point (4,3) on a Coordinate Grid?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0). Move 4 units to the right (x-axis) and then 3 units up (y-axis) to plot the point.

Front

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.

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.
