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.

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.

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).

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).
