Coordinate Grid

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), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

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

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).

Front

If you move 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin, what is your new location?

Back

Your new location would be (3, 2).

Front

If you start at (2, 3) and move 1 unit left and 4 units down, where do you end up?

Back

You end up at (1, -1).

Front

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

Back

The distance is 3 units, as they are vertically aligned.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, 3) on a coordinate grid?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 4 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 3 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the first step to find the location of a point given an ordered pair?

Back

Identify the x-coordinate and move horizontally along the x-axis.
