Math Literacy Flashcard

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in a two-dimensional space, written in the form (x, y), where x is the horizontal coordinate and y is the vertical coordinate.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on a graph.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on a graph.

Front

What is the result of 7 + (-14)?

Back

-7

Front

What is the result of 14 - 20?

Back

-6

Front

What is the result of 0 - 16?

Back

-16

Front

How do you find a point that is 5 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 5 units to the right (x-coordinate becomes 5), and then move 3 units up (y-coordinate becomes 3), resulting in the point (5, 3).

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the ordered pair (0, 3)?

Back

0

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the ordered pair (0, 3)?

Back

3

Front

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

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.
