Graphing Points Practice

Front

What is a coordinate point?

Back

A coordinate point is a pair of numbers that define a position in a two-dimensional space, typically written as (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the graph.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the graph.

Front

How do you identify a point on a graph?

Back

To identify a point on a graph, locate the x-coordinate on the horizontal axis and the y-coordinate on the vertical axis, then find the intersection.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the origin?

Back

The ordered pair for the origin is (0, 0).

Front

What is the significance of negative coordinates?

Back

Negative coordinates indicate positions that are to the left of the origin on the x-axis or below the origin on the y-axis.

Front

How do you write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written in the format (x, y), where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the coordinate for Point A if it is located at (3, 0)?

Back

The coordinate for Point A is (3, 0).

Front

What is the coordinate for Point B if it is located at (-4, 2)?

Back

The coordinate for Point B is (-4, 2).

Front

What is the coordinate for Point Y if it is located at (-5, -1)?

Back

The coordinate for Point Y is (-5, -1).
