Coordinate pairs

Front

What are coordinate pairs?

Back

Coordinate pairs are a set of two numbers that define a point on a coordinate grid, usually written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The first number in a coordinate pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the grid.

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The second number in a coordinate pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the grid.

Front

True or false: In the coordinate pair (9, 0), the y-axis is 9 and the x-axis is 0.

Back

False

Front

True or false: X comes before Y in coordinate grids.

Back

True

Front

True or false: If the coordinate is (0, 1), you go up zero and move right once.

Back

False

Front

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 coordinate (0, 0).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate grid where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate grid where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What goes at the top of a coordinate grid?

Back

Heading.
