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-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal (left and right) axis on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the Y-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical (up and down) axis on the coordinate plane.

Front

In which quadrant are both X and Y values positive?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant is the X value negative and the Y value positive?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

In which quadrant are both X and Y values negative?

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

In which quadrant is the X value positive and the Y value negative?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the coordinate of the origin on a coordinate plane?

Back

(0, 0).

Front

How do you identify the location of a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

By using its ordered pair (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

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

Back

The first number represents the X-coordinate, indicating the horizontal position.
