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 is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y). The first number represents the position on the x-axis, and the second number represents the position on the y-axis.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent on a coordinate grid?

Back

The point (0, 0) is called the origin. It is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you read the coordinates (3, 4)?

Back

The coordinates (3, 4) are read as '3 on the x-axis and 4 on the y-axis'.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What quadrant is the point (4, -5) located in?

Back

The point (4, -5) is located in Quadrant IV, where x is positive and y is negative.

Front

What quadrant is the point (-3, 2) located in?

Back

The point (-3, 2) is located in Quadrant II, where x is negative and y is positive.

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 2) and (1, 5)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, as they are on the same vertical line (x = 1) and differ by 3 on the y-axis.
