Plotting points- positive and negative numbers

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, typically represented as (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position on a graph.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position on a graph.

Front

What is the significance of positive numbers in coordinates?

Back

Positive numbers indicate positions to the right of the origin (0,0) on the x-axis and above the origin on the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of negative numbers in coordinates?

Back

Negative numbers indicate positions to the left of the origin (0,0) on the x-axis and below the origin on the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate system?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

How do you plot the point (-2, -5)?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 2 units to the left (x-axis), and then 5 units down (y-axis).
