Graphing in Quadrant 1 Flashcard

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a graph, written in the form (x, y). The first number represents the x-coordinate, and the second number represents the y-coordinate.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on a graph, indicating how far to move left or right from the origin.

Front

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

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on a graph, indicating how far to move up or down from the origin.

Front

In which quadrant do the coordinates (5, 2) lie?

Back

Quadrant 1, where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, 6)?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move 4 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 6 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the correct ordered pair for point E if it is located at (5, 2)?

Back

(5, 2) is the correct ordered pair for point E.

Front

If I move up 2 units and left 3 units from point D at (3, 5), where will I end up?

Back

You will end up at point (0, 7).

Front

What is the ordered pair for point R?

Back

(4, 6) is the ordered pair for point R.

Front

What is the significance of the origin in graphing?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean to plot a point on a graph?

Back

To plot a point means to mark its location on the graph based on its coordinates.
