Ordered Pairs and Coordinate Grid

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (X,Y).

Front

What does the X-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The X-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

What does the Y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The Y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

How do you write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written as (X,Y), where X is the horizontal value and Y is the vertical value.

Front

What are the two axes in a coordinate grid called?

Back

The two axes are called the X-axis (horizontal) and the Y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0,0).

Front

If a point is located at (3,2), what is its X-coordinate?

Back

The X-coordinate is 3.

Front

If a point is located at (3,2), what is its Y-coordinate?

Back

The Y-coordinate is 2.

Front

What is the point located at (5,3)?

Back

The point located at (5,3) is a specific location on the coordinate grid.

Front

How do you find the location of a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To find the location of a point, start at the origin, move along the X-axis to the X-coordinate, and then move vertically to the Y-coordinate.
