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 x-coordinate, and the second number represents the y-coordinate.

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line on a coordinate grid where the y-coordinate is zero.

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).

How do you find the coordinates of a point?

Back

To find the coordinates of a point, count how far to move right or left from the origin (for the x-coordinate) and how far to move up or down (for the y-coordinate).
