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

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

Back

Move left 2 units and down 6 units from the origin.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number (x-coordinate) represents the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number (y-coordinate) represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the coordinate of the origin?

Back

The coordinate of the origin is (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify the point (0, 1) on a graph?

Back

Start at the origin, move right 0 units (stay at the origin), and move up 1 unit.

Front

What letter corresponds to the point (7, -6)?

Back

The letter at (7, -6) is D.

Front

If you plot the point (1, -3), which letter do you reach?

Back

You reach the letter D.

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the point (2, 5)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 2.

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the point (2, 3)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 3.
