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 first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

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

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line in the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are negative integers?

Back

Negative integers are whole numbers less than zero, located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What are positive integers?

Back

Positive integers are whole numbers greater than zero, located to the right of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 4) on the coordinate plane?

Back

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