Coordinate Graphing

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

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 plane.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in a coordinate plane, numbered I, II, III, and IV.

Front

In which quadrant is Point C (2, 2) located?

Back

Point C is located in Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant is Point B (-3, 2) located?

Back

Point B is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What is the ordered pair for Point E if it is located at (-4, -1)?

Back

The ordered pair for Point E is (-4, -1).

Front

How do you determine the quadrant of a point with positive x and negative y coordinates?

Back

A point with positive x and negative y coordinates is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the significance of the signs of the coordinates in determining the quadrant?

Back

The signs of the coordinates (positive or negative) determine the quadrant in which the point is located: Quadrant I (both positive), Quadrant II (x negative, y positive), Quadrant III (both negative), Quadrant IV (x positive, y negative).
