Graphing Coordinates

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, usually written as (x, y).

Front

What does the X-axis represent?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal number line on a graph where the value of x is plotted.

Front

What does the Y-axis represent?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical number line on a graph where the value of y is plotted.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect, represented as (0, 0).

Front

How do you read coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are read as (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of the X-axis and Y-axis.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate plane?

Back

Coordinate planes are used to show locations and relationships between points.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinates are (3, 2).

Front

If a point has coordinates (4, 5), what is its position relative to the origin?

Back

It is 4 units to the right and 5 units up from the origin.

Front

What is the first number in a coordinate pair called?

Back

The first number is called the x-coordinate.
