Plotting and Identifying 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), where x is the horizontal coordinate and y is the vertical coordinate.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

How do you identify the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What does the point (3, -3) represent?

Back

The point (3, -3) represents a location on the coordinate plane where x is 3 and y is -3.

Front

What is the significance of the coordinates (-1, 1)?

Back

The coordinates (-1, 1) indicate a point located 1 unit left of the origin and 1 unit up.

Front

What is the difference between the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is horizontal and represents the first number in an ordered pair, while the y-axis is vertical and represents the second number.

Front

How do you plot the point (-3, 0)?

Back

To plot the point (-3, 0), move 3 units left from the origin along the x-axis.

Front

What does the point (0, 4) indicate?

Back

The point (0, 4) indicates a location on the y-axis, 4 units above the origin.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is used to visually represent points, lines, and shapes using a grid defined by the x-axis and y-axis.
