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 first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

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

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 on the coordinate plane.

Front

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

Back

To plot (2, 4), start at the origin (0, 0), move 2 units to the right (positive x-direction), and then move 4 units up (positive y-direction).

Front

What is the coordinate of point L?

Back

The coordinate of point L is (-4, -4).

Front

Where is point B located on the coordinate plane?

Back

Point B is located at (-4, 6).

Front

What is the ordered pair for point E?

Back

The ordered pair for point E is (-3, 0).

Front

If a point has coordinates (0, 4), where is it located?

Back

The point (0, 4) is located on the y-axis, 4 units above the origin.

Front

What quadrant is the point (2, -4) located in?

Back

The point (2, -4) is located in Quadrant IV, where x is positive and y is negative.

Front

What quadrant is the point (-4, 6) located in?

Back

The point (-4, 6) is located in Quadrant II, where x is negative and y is positive.
