Front

What is the ordered pair for point K?

Back

(3, -3)

Front

What is the definition of coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, typically represented as (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot the point (3, -2) on a graph?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 3 units right (positive x-direction), and 2 units down (negative y-direction).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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