Graphing in Quadrant 1 Flashcard

Front

What is a coordinate in a graph?

Back

A coordinate is a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, usually written as (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The first number (x) represents the horizontal position on the graph, indicating how far to move left or right.

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The second number (y) represents the vertical position on the graph, indicating how far to move up or down.

Front

In which quadrant do positive x and positive y coordinates lie?

Back

Positive x and positive y coordinates lie in Quadrant 1.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point A if it is located 3 units right and 4 units up from the origin?

Back

(3, 4) is the ordered pair for point A.

Front

How do you plot the point (2, 5) on a graph?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 2 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 5 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the coordinate for point B if it is 5 units right and 2 units down from the origin?

Back

(5, -2) is the coordinate for point B.

Front

If a point has coordinates (4, 1), where is it located on the graph?

Back

It is located 4 units right and 1 unit up from the origin.

Front

What is the difference between an ordered pair and a coordinate?

Back

An ordered pair is a specific type of coordinate that shows the position of a point in a two-dimensional space, written as (x, y).

Front

What does it mean to plot a point on a graph?

Back

To plot a point means to mark its location on the graph according to its coordinates.
