Plotting points

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 in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 4)?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 4 units up (y-axis).

Front

What are the coordinates for point A?

Back

(0, 0) - This is the origin.

Front

What letter is at the coordinates (2, 3)?

Back

The letter at (2, 3) is determined by the specific context or grid provided.

Front

What are the coordinates for point C?

Back

(5, -2) - This point is located 5 units right and 2 units down from the origin.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative x-coordinate?

Back

A negative x-coordinate means the point is located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative y-coordinate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate means the point is located below the origin on the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point?

Back

The quadrant is determined by the signs of the x and y coordinates: Quadrant I (+,+), Quadrant II (-,+), Quadrant III (-,-), Quadrant IV (+,-).
