Coordinate Plane Practice

Front

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).

Front

What is the origin on a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you locate the point (3, 7) on a coordinate grid?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move right along the x-axis to 3, then move up along the y-axis to 7.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect?

Back

(0, 0) is the coordinates of the intersection of the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What does the x-axis represent on a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-axis represent on a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

How do you graph the point (5, 3)?

Back

Start at the origin, move 5 units right along the x-axis, then move 3 units up along the y-axis.

Front

If a point is located at (9, 2), what are the x and y coordinates?

Back

The x-coordinate is 9 and the y-coordinate is 2.

Front

What is the distance between the points (3, 6) and (3, 2) on the y-axis?

Back

The distance is 4 units, as they have the same x-coordinate.

Front

What is the distance between the points (5, 0) and (0, 0) on the x-axis?

Back

The distance is 5 units, as they have the same y-coordinate.
