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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What does an ordered pair represent?

Back

An ordered pair represents a specific point on a coordinate grid, consisting of two numbers: the first number indicates the position along the x-axis, and the second number indicates the position along the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate grid where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line in a coordinate grid where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you identify a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

A point on a coordinate grid is identified by its coordinates, written as an ordered pair (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair indicate?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair indicates the position along the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair indicate?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair indicates the position along the y-axis.

Front

How do you write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written in the format (x, y), where x is the value on the x-axis and y is the value on the y-axis.

Front

What is the coordinate of point A if it is located at (2, 4)?

Back

The coordinate of point A is (2, 4), where 2 is the x-coordinate and 4 is the y-coordinate.
