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.

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).
