Solano's Ordered pair

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

In which quadrant is the point (3, 4) located?

Back

Quadrant 1, because both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-2, 5) located?

Back

Quadrant 2, because the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, -4) located?

Back

Quadrant 3, because both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (4, -2) located?

Back

Quadrant 4, because the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located 6 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

(6, 2) because you move 6 units along the x-axis and 2 units along the y-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located 0 units right and 7 units down from the origin?

Back

(0, -7) because you do not move along the x-axis and move 7 units down along the y-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located 2 units left and 5 units up from the origin?

Back

(-2, 5) because you move 2 units left along the x-axis and 5 units up along the y-axis.
