Identifying 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 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

How do you write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written as (X, Y).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the X and Y axes intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, 2) located?

Back

The point (3, 2) is located in Quadrant 1.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, -2) located?

Back

The point (-3, -2) is located in Quadrant 3.

Front

What is the coordinate of the point where X = 4 and Y = -6?

Back

The coordinate is (4, -6).

Front

Which quadrant has a positive X and a negative Y?

Back

Quadrant 4 has a positive X and a negative Y.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point that lies on the X-axis?

Back

The coordinates of a point on the X-axis are of the form (X, 0).
