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 (3, 2) on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot (3, 2), move 3 units to the right on the x-axis and 2 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the origin?

Back

The ordered pair for the origin is (0, 0).

Front

If a point is located at (0, -4), where is it positioned on the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of negative coordinates?

Back

Negative coordinates indicate positions to the left of the origin on the x-axis or below the origin on the y-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point E if it is located 3 units left and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The ordered pair for point E would be (-3, 2).

Front

How do you identify the point represented by the ordered pair (-4, -4)?

Back

To identify the point (-4, -4), move 4 units left on the x-axis and 4 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What is the relationship between the coordinates (x, y) and the position on the graph?

Back

The coordinates (x, y) determine the exact location of a point on the graph based on horizontal (x) and vertical (y) movements.
