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 graph.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 2) on a graph?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 2 units up (y-axis) to plot the point.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point E?

Back

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

Front

Which axis comes first in an ordered pair ( __ , __)?

Back

The x-axis comes first in an ordered pair.

Front

What is the ordered pair of point L?

Back

(-4, -4) is the ordered pair of point L.

Front

What point is at (1, 0)?

Back

There is No Point at (1, 0).

Front

If the ordered pair is (0, 4), where is the point located?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the x-coordinate being negative?

Back

A negative x-coordinate indicates that the point is located to the left of the y-axis.
