Graphing points on the coordinate plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by a pair of numbers (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair (x, y) represent?

Back

The horizontal position (left or right) on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair (x, y) represent?

Back

The vertical position (up or down) on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (2, 3)?

Back

Move 2 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x+, y+), Quadrant II (x-, y+), Quadrant III (x-, y-), Quadrant IV (x+, y-).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

Read the horizontal position (x) first, then the vertical position (y).

Front

What is the ordered pair for point T if it is located at (2, -5)?

Back

(2, -5) is the ordered pair for point T.

Front

If you move left on the coordinate plane, what happens to the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate decreases.

Front

If you move up on the coordinate plane, what happens to the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate increases.
