Graphing Points Practice

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

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

Front

What does the ordered pair (x, y) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (x, y) represents a point on a Cartesian plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

How do you identify a point on a graph?

Back

To identify a point on a graph, locate the x-coordinate on the horizontal axis and the y-coordinate on the vertical axis, then find where these two values intersect.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate system?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) on a coordinate plane, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in a Cartesian coordinate system, where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line in a Cartesian coordinate system, where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the first quadrant?

Back

A point is in the first quadrant if both its x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the second quadrant?

Back

A point is in the second quadrant if its x-coordinate is negative and its y-coordinate is positive.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the third quadrant?

Back

A point is in the third quadrant if both its x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in the fourth quadrant?

Back

A point is in the fourth quadrant if its x-coordinate is positive and its y-coordinate is negative.
