Plotting & Reading Points

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, usually represented as (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position on a graph, indicating how far left or right a point is from the origin.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position on a graph, indicating how far up or down a point is from the origin.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 2)?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move right 3 units (x-coordinate), then move up 2 units (y-coordinate).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What quadrant is the point (-2, 3) located in?

Back

The point (-2, 3) is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What quadrant is the point (4, -1) located in?

Back

The point (4, -1) is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

What are the coordinates of letter B?

Back

(-1, -3.5) is the coordinate of letter B.

Front

What are the coordinates of letter C?

Back

(3.5, -2.5) is the coordinate of letter C.

Front

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

Back

Move left 2 units (x-coordinate) and down 6 units (y-coordinate).
