Spiral Review #6

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

(0,0)

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 as (x, y).

Front

How do you plot the point (6, 2) on the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

If you plot the point (4, -12), how do you move on the coordinate plane?

Back

Move 4 units to the right (x-axis) and then 12 units down (y-axis).

Front

When plotting the point (-4, 3), how do you move along the axes?

Back

Move 4 units to the left (x-axis) and then 3 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the first step in plotting a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0).

Front

What is the difference between positive and negative coordinates?

Back

Positive coordinates indicate movement to the right (x-axis) or up (y-axis), while negative coordinates indicate movement to the left (x-axis) or down (y-axis).

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis and y-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line, and the y-axis is the vertical line that intersect at the origin (0,0).
