Graphing Ordered Pairs

Front

What is the x-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

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

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, and the second number represents the y-coordinate.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the first number in an ordered pair?

Back

The first number represents the horizontal position (x-coordinate) on the graph.

Front

What is the significance of the second number in an ordered pair?

Back

The second number represents the vertical position (y-coordinate) on the graph.

Front

What quadrant is the point (2, 3) located in?

Back

The point (2, 3) is located in Quadrant I, where both x and y are positive.

Front

What quadrant is the point (-3, 2) located in?

Back

The point (-3, 2) is located in Quadrant II, where x is negative and y is positive.
