naming ordered pairs

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in an ordered pair (x, y) and represents the horizontal position on the graph.

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair (x, y) and represents the vertical position on the graph.

Front

What does the ordered pair (0, 0) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (0, 0) represents the origin point in a coordinate system.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the y-axis?

Back

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

Front

How do you write an ordered pair for the point where x = 3 and y = 5?

Back

The ordered pair is written as (3, 5).

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located at 4 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The ordered pair is (4, 2).

Front

If a point is located at (-3, -2), where is it positioned in relation to the origin?

Back

The point (-3, -2) is located in the third quadrant, where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate?

Back

It means the point is located in the second quadrant of the coordinate plane.
