6th grade graphing review

Front

What is a coordinate in a graph?

Back

A coordinate is a pair of numbers that define a point's position on a graph, usually written as (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What is the reflection of a point across the y-axis?

Back

To reflect a point (x, y) across the y-axis, change the sign of the x-coordinate: (-x, y).

Front

What is the reflection of the point (-2, 7) across the y-axis?

Back

The reflection is (2, 7).

Front

How do you plot the point (-2, -6)?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 2 units to the left (x-axis), then move 6 units down (y-axis).

Front

What does the term 'origin' refer to in graphing?

Back

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

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid helps to visually represent points, lines, and shapes in a two-dimensional space.

Front

What is the location of Point A if it is at (3, 4)?

Back

Point A is located 3 units to the right and 4 units up from the origin.
