Coordinates

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface 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.

Front

What are the two axes in a coordinate plane called?

Back

The two axes are called the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

How do you read an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is read as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.

Front

If a point is at (3, 5), how many units do you move right and how many units do you move up?

Back

You move 3 units to the right and 5 units up.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot the point (2, 4) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 2 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 4 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (7, 2)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 2.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (4, 9)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 4.
