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.

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y). The first number represents the position on the x-axis, and the second number represents the position on the y-axis.

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

What is the significance of the point (0, 0)?

Back

The point (0, 0) is called the origin and serves as the reference point for all other points on the coordinate grid.
