Coordinate Grids

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane 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 grid?

Back

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

Front

What does an ordered pair represent in a coordinate grid?

Back

An ordered pair represents a specific point on the coordinate grid, with the first number indicating the position on the x-axis and the second number indicating the position on the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

In the ordered pair (3,5), what does the number 3 represent?

Back

The number 3 represents the position on the x-axis.

Front

In the ordered pair (3,5), what does the number 5 represent?

Back

The number 5 represents the position on the y-axis.

Front

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

Back

To plot the point (4,2), move 4 units to the right on the x-axis and 2 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the distance between the points (1,1) and (1,4)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, as they are on the same vertical line.

Front

What is the distance between the points (2,3) and (5,3)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, as they are on the same horizontal line.

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the point (7,8)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 7.
