Graphing points

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the X-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the Y-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line in a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a graph?

Back

The coordinates of a point are identified by its position relative to the X-axis and Y-axis, expressed as (x, y).

Front

What is the coordinate of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect.

Front

If a point is located at (3, -2), what does this indicate?

Back

This indicates that the point is 3 units to the right of the origin and 2 units down.

Front

What is the significance of the first number in an ordered pair?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, indicating the horizontal position.

Front

What is the significance of the second number in an ordered pair?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, indicating the vertical position.

Front

How do you plot the point (-4, -4) on a graph?

Back

Move 4 units left on the X-axis and 4 units down on the Y-axis.

Front

What is the relationship between the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis and Y-axis are perpendicular to each other and divide the plane into four quadrants.
