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

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

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

Back

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

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where y = 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where x = 0.

Front

If point A is on the y-axis, what can you say about its x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate of point A is 0.

Front

What quadrant is the point (3, -4) located in?

Back

The point (3, -4) is located in Quadrant IV.

Front

What quadrant is the point (-3, 2) located in?

Back

The point (-3, 2) is located in Quadrant II.
