Coordinate Graphing

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-value represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-value represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-value represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-value represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (positive x, positive y), Quadrant II (negative x, positive y), Quadrant III (negative x, negative y), Quadrant IV (positive x, negative y).

Front

In which quadrant is the point (2, 5) located?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-4, 6) located?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

What is the x-value of the ordered pair (-4, 5)?

Back

-4.

Front

What is the y-value of the ordered pair (-4, 5)?

Back

5.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the coordinate of a point in Quadrant III?

Back

Both x and y values are negative.
