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.

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 is the x-coordinate, and the second number is the y-coordinate.

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

Which axis runs horizontally?

Back

The x-axis runs horizontally.

Front

Which axis runs vertically?

Back

The y-axis runs vertically.

In the ordered pair (3, 5), what is the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3.

Front

In the ordered pair (4, 2), what is the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 2.

How do you locate a point (5, 7) on a coordinate grid?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 5 units to the right along the x-axis, and then move 7 units up along the y-axis.

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).
