What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

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).

How do you locate a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To locate a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

What are the coordinates of Point A if it is located at (4, 7)?

Back

The coordinates of Point A are (4, 7), meaning it is 4 units right and 7 units up from the origin.
