Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A set of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the point (2, -8)?

Back

-8

Front

Back

7

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the point (0, 9)?

Back

0

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

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 plot the point (3, 4) on a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

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

Back

The vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

If a point is located at (0, 0), what is this point called?

Back

The origin.

Front

What is the significance of the point (1, 0) on the coordinate plane?

Back

It lies on the x-axis.
