Plotting Points

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a set of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

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

Back

Move right 4 units and down 6 units from the origin.

Front

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

Back

The origin is at the coordinate (0, 0).

Front

If a point has a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate, where is it located?

Back

It is located in the second quadrant of the coordinate plane.

Front

If a point has a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate, where is it located?

Back

It is located in the fourth quadrant of the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the coordinate of point A if it is located at (5, 3)?

Back

Point A is located 5 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin.

Front

How do you identify the point (2, 2) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Move right 2 units and up 2 units from the origin.

Front

What is the distance from the origin to the point (3, 4)?

Back

The distance is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: √(3² + 4²) = 5.
