Coordinate Graphs

Front

What is a coordinate graph?

Back

A coordinate graph is a two-dimensional space where points are plotted using pairs of numbers called coordinates, which represent their position on the graph.

Front

What are the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate graph, and the y-axis is the vertical line. They intersect at the origin (0,0).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate graph?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot a point on a coordinate graph?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move up or down to the y-coordinate.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are pairs of numbers that define the position of a point on a coordinate graph, written as (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The first number in a coordinate pair represents the position on the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The second number in a coordinate pair represents the position on the y-axis.

Front

What is a quadrant in a coordinate graph?

Back

A quadrant is one of the four sections of a coordinate graph, divided by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

How many quadrants are there in a coordinate graph?

Back

There are four quadrants in a coordinate graph.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate graph?

Back

The purpose of a coordinate graph is to visually represent relationships between two variables.
