What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

What are ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

By using the format (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.
