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.

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.

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.

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).
