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 does an ordered pair represent?

Back

An ordered pair represents a specific point on a coordinate grid, consisting of two numbers: the first number is the x-coordinate (horizontal position) and the second number is the y-coordinate (vertical position).

How do you identify a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To identify a point, use its ordered pair (x, y) where you move x units along the x-axis and y units up or down along the y-axis.
