Topic 14: Pretest Coordinate Grids

Front

Which axis runs vertically (up and down)?

Back

Y axis

Front

In an ordered pair, the first number represents which axis?

Back

X axis

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y).

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 5) on a coordinate grid?

Back

Begin at the origin. Go to the right 3 units and up 5 units.

Front

What does the X-axis represent in a coordinate grid?

Back

The X-axis represents the horizontal line on a coordinate grid.

Front

What does the Y-axis represent in a coordinate grid?

Back

The Y-axis represents the vertical line on a coordinate grid.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point where the X-axis and Y-axis intersect, represented as (0, 0).

Front

If a point is located at (4, 2), what are the coordinates?

Back

The coordinates are 4 units to the right and 2 units up from the origin.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What is the difference between the X-axis and Y-axis?

Back

The X-axis is horizontal, while the Y-axis is vertical.
