coordinate grids

Front

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.

Front

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).

Front

In an ordered pair (x, y), which number represents the y-axis?

Back

The second number, y, represents the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (7, 8)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 7.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (3, 5)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 5.

Front

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.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

If a point is located at (4, 2), what is its x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 4.

Front

If a point is located at (2, 6), what is its y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 6.
