Graphing on the coordinate plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional space where points are defined by pairs of numbers (x, y).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The horizontal axis in the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The vertical axis in the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (-4, 3)?

Back

Move 4 units left on the x-axis and then 3 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What direction do you move to plot a positive x-coordinate?

Back

You move to the right on the x-axis.

Front

What direction do you move to plot a negative x-coordinate?

Back

You move to the left on the x-axis.

Front

What direction do you move to plot a positive y-coordinate?

Back

You move up on the y-axis.

Front

What direction do you move to plot a negative y-coordinate?

Back

You move down on the y-axis.
