Graphing Coordinates

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

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

Front

What does the 'x' represent in coordinates?

Back

The 'x' represents the horizontal position on the graph.

Front

What does the 'y' represent in coordinates?

Back

The 'y' represents the vertical position on the graph.

Front

How do you correctly write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written as (x, y).

Front

What is the X axis?

Back

The X axis is the horizontal number line on a graph.

Front

What is the Y axis?

Back

The Y axis is the vertical number line on a graph.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate system?

Back

The origin is the point where the X and Y axes intersect, represented as (0, 0).

Front

How do you find the coordinates of a point on a graph?

Back

To find the coordinates, move along the X axis first (left or right) and then along the Y axis (up or down).

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinates are (3, 2).

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located 4 units left and 1 unit down from the origin?

Back

The coordinates are (-4, -1).
