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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to represent the position of a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the grid.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the grid.

Front

How do you find the coordinates of a point on a grid?

Back

To find the coordinates of a point, count how many units you move right or left from the origin (0,0) for the x-coordinate, and how many units you move up or down for the y-coordinate.

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 coordinates (0,0).

Front

What are the coordinates of point A located 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinates of point A are (3, 2).

Front

What letter is located at coordinates (2, 3)?

Back

The letter located at coordinates (2, 3) is Z.

Front

What are the coordinates of letter R?

Back

The coordinates of letter R are (0, 1).

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the point (5, 2)?

Back

The x-coordinate of the point (5, 2) is 5.
