Ordered Pairs

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 as (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the x-coordinate, which shows the horizontal position on the graph.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the y-coordinate, which shows the vertical position on the graph.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you write the coordinates for point A?

Back

The coordinates for point A are (0, 6).

Front

How do you write the coordinates for point B?

Back

The coordinates for point B are (2, 8).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where y = 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where x = 0.

Front

Which coordinate comes first in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate comes first in an ordered pair.

Front

What is the location of the point (2, 7)?

Back

The point (2, 7) is located 2 units right and 7 units up from the origin.
