Coordinate System

Front

What is a coordinate system?

Back

A coordinate system is a method for identifying the position of points in a space using numbers, typically represented as ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

In the ordered pair (4, 9), what is the x-coordinate?

Back

4

Front

In the ordered pair (4, 9), what is the y-coordinate?

Back

9

Front

What is the purpose of a grid in a coordinate system?

Back

A grid helps to visually represent points and their coordinates, making it easier to locate and understand their positions.

Front

How do you read an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is read as (x, y), where x is the value on the horizontal axis and y is the value on the vertical axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate system?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between the x-axis and the y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a graph, while the y-axis is the vertical line.

Front

If a point is located at (3, 5), what is its position relative to the origin?

Back

The point (3, 5) is 3 units to the right and 5 units up from the origin.
