Coordinate Graphing

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-value represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-value represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-value represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-value 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 do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in the ordered pair (x, y).

Front

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

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in the ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What is the coordinate for the point located 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinate is (3, 2).

Front

What is the coordinate for the point located 4 units left and 1 unit down from the origin?

Back

The coordinate is (-4, -1).

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, y) on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, y) lies on the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the point (x, 0) on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (x, 0) lies on the x-axis.
