Coordinate Grid

Front

What is the origin on a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-axis represent on a coordinate grid?

Back

The y-axis runs vertically and represents the vertical position of points.

Front

What does the x-axis represent on a coordinate grid?

Back

The x-axis runs horizontally and represents the horizontal position of points.

Front

How do you write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written as (X,Y), where X is the x-coordinate and Y is the y-coordinate.

Front

In the ordered pair (4,9), what does the number 4 represent?

Back

The number 4 represents the x-coordinate.

Front

In the ordered pair (4,9), what does the number 9 represent?

Back

The number 9 represents the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the purpose of the coordinate grid?

Back

The coordinate grid is used to locate points in a two-dimensional space using ordered pairs.

Front

What are the four quadrants in a coordinate grid?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (positive x, positive y), Quadrant II (negative x, positive y), Quadrant III (negative x, negative y), Quadrant IV (positive x, negative y).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a grid?

Back

To identify the coordinates, find the horizontal position (x-coordinate) and the vertical position (y-coordinate) of the point.

Front

What is the distance between the points (2,3) and (2,7) on a coordinate grid?

Back

The distance is 4 units, as they share the same x-coordinate.
