What is a coordinate?

Back

A coordinate is a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, usually written as (x, y).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a graph where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a graph where the x-coordinate is zero.

How do you find the rule in a number pattern?

Back

To find the rule, look for a consistent operation (like addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) that transforms one number in the pattern to the next.

What does it mean to interpret data from a graph?

Back

Interpreting data from a graph means analyzing the information presented to understand trends, patterns, or relationships.

Front

What is a line graph?

Back

A line graph is a type of graph that uses lines to connect data points, showing changes over time.

Front

What is a bar graph?

Back

A bar graph is a visual representation of data using bars of different heights to compare quantities.

What is the greatest value in a data set?

Back

The greatest value is the highest number in a set of data.
