Ordered Pairs & Quadrants

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 first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number (x) represents the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number (y) represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: I (x > 0, y > 0), II (x < 0, y > 0), III (x < 0, y < 0), IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front
