Coordinate Grid

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of a point located 2 miles East and 4 miles North from the origin?

Back

(2, 4)

Front

Which axis runs horizontally in a coordinate grid?

Back

The x-axis.

Front

Which axis runs vertically in a coordinate grid?

Back

The y-axis.

Front

What is the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis called?

Back

The origin.

Front

If a point has coordinates (-3, 5), where is it located in relation to the origin?

Back

It is located 3 units to the left and 5 units up from the origin.

Front

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

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

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

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, -2) on a coordinate grid?

Back

Start at the origin, move 4 units to the right (positive x-direction), and then 2 units down (negative y-direction).
