Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Front

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

Back

The horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

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

Front

What is the coordinate of the point located at the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

(0,0) - This point is called the origin.

Front

How do you identify a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

By using an ordered pair (x,y) where x is the horizontal distance and y is the vertical distance.
