Coordinate grid

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

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), where x is the x-coordinate and y is 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 the coordinate grid.

Front

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

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid.

In the ordered pair (3, 5), what is the x-coordinate?

3

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a grid?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point, count the horizontal distance from the origin (0,0) to the point for the x-coordinate, and the vertical distance for the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

How do you write the coordinates of a point located 5 units right and 3 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinates would be (5, 3).

Front

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

Back

The first number in an ordered pair indicates the position along the x-axis.
