6th grade : 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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

How do you find the distance between two points on a vertical line?

Back

To find the distance between two points on a vertical line, subtract the y-coordinates and take the absolute value.

Front

What is the distance between (0, 4) and (0, -5)?

Back

9

Front

What is the opposite of a number?

Back

The opposite of a number is the number that is the same distance from zero on the number line but in the opposite direction.

Front

What is the opposite of -3?

Back

3

Front

How do you move a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To move a point on a coordinate grid, you change its x-coordinate to move left or right and its y-coordinate to move up or down.

Front

What ordered pair is 5 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin (0,0)?

Back

(5, 3)
