What are ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

Front

How do you identify a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

By using its ordered pair (x, y).

Front
