Graphing 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 plane, written in the form (x, y).

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 plane.

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 plane.

Front

In the ordered pair (3, 7), what is the y-coordinate?

Back

7

Front

What is the significance of the first number in an ordered pair?

Back

The first number (x-coordinate) indicates how far to move left or right from the origin.

Front

What is the significance of the second number in an ordered pair?

Back

The second number (y-coordinate) indicates how far to move up or down from the origin.
