Graphing Ordered Pairs

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a graph where the value of x is plotted.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a graph where the value of y is plotted.

Front

What does an ordered pair represent?

Back

An ordered pair (x, y) represents a point on a graph where x is the value on the x-axis and y is the value on the y-axis.

Front

How do you determine if an ordered pair is a solution to an equation?

Back

Substitute the x value into the equation and see if the resulting y value matches the y value in the ordered pair.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point where x=3 and y=2?

Back

The ordered pair is (3, 2).

Front

What does the ordered pair (8, 900) mean in a graph context?

Back

It means that at x=8, the value of y is 900.

Front

How do you read the coordinates (5, 7)?

Back

The first number (5) is the x-coordinate, and the second number (7) is the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the distance represented by the ordered pair (0, 50)?

Back

It represents a point where the x value is 0 and the y value is 50.

Front

If a person travels 50 miles in 60 minutes, what is their speed?

Back

Their speed is 50 miles per hour.

Front

What letter is located at the coordinates (5, 7) on a graph?

Back
