Graphing 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 plane, written in the form (x, y).

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

In which quadrant is the point (2, 3) located?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where x = 0.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where y = 0.
