Coordinate Grid

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 are the four quadrants of a coordinate grid?

Back

The four quadrants are: I (top right), II (top left), III (bottom left), IV (bottom right).

Front

In which quadrant is a point located if both coordinates are negative?

Back

The point is located in Quadrant III.

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).

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you determine the location of a point given its coordinates?

Back

To determine the location, start at the origin (0, 0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

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

If a point has coordinates (3, 2), in which quadrant is it located?

Back

The point is located in Quadrant I.

Front

What is the result of moving 4 units to the left and 2 units down from the point (2, 3)?

Back

The new coordinates are (-2, 1).
