Coordinate grid #1

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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to represent the position of a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis represents the horizontal line in a coordinate grid where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis represents the vertical line in a coordinate grid where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate grid?

Back

There are four quadrants in a coordinate grid, numbered I, II, III, and IV, starting from the upper right and moving counterclockwise.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, 12)?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (2, 5)?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point A if it is located 2 units right and 0 units up from the origin?

Back

(2, 0).

Front

Which axis runs vertically?

Back

The y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.
