Plotting points on a graph

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a graph, written in the form (x, y).

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), which number represents the x-coordinate?

Back

The first number, x, represents the x-coordinate.

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), which number represents the y-coordinate?

Back

The second number, y, represents the y-coordinate.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent on a graph?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 4) on a graph?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 4 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the point (5, 10)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 10.

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the point (-2, 6)?

Back

The x-coordinate is -2.

Front

What point is located at (1, 2)?

Back

The point (1, 2) is located 1 unit right and 2 units up from the origin.

Front

What letter is at the coordinates (3, 5) if A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5?

Back

The letter at (3, 5) is C.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point L if it is located at (-4, -4)?

Back

The ordered pair for point L is (-4, -4).
