Coordinate Grids

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), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What does the ordered pair (X,Y) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (X,Y) represents a point on the coordinate grid, where X is the horizontal position (x-coordinate) and Y is the vertical position (y-coordinate).

Front

If you move 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin (0,0), what is your new position?

Back

(3,2)

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (5, -2)?

Back

5

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (-3, 4)?

Back

4

Front

Which axis is vertical on a coordinate grid?

Back

The y-axis.

Front

Which axis is horizontal on a coordinate grid?

Back

The x-axis.

Front

How do you identify the point (0,0) on a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

What is the ordered pair for point A located 4 units left and 3 units down from the origin?

Back

(-4,-3)

Front

If a point is located at (2, -5), what does the negative y-coordinate indicate?

Back

It indicates that the point is 5 units below the x-axis.
