What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate grid, representing the horizontal values of ordered pairs.

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate grid, representing the vertical values of ordered pairs.

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

How do you move left on a coordinate grid?

Back

To move left on a coordinate grid, you decrease the x-coordinate of the ordered pair.

What is a right triangle?

Back

A right triangle is a triangle that has one angle measuring 90 degrees. It can be formed by plotting points on a coordinate grid.

What is the significance of the point (0, 0)?

Back

The point (0, 0) is significant because it is the origin of the coordinate grid, serving as a reference point for all other points.
