Graphing and Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in an ordered pair that indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair that indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does reflecting over the y-axis change?

Back

Reflecting over the y-axis changes the x-coordinate of a point.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line that divides the coordinate plane into two halves.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line that divides the coordinate plane into two halves.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written as (x, y).

Front

What is a quadrant in the coordinate plane?

Back

A quadrant is one of the four sections of the coordinate plane created by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What is a linear graph?

Back

A linear graph is a graph that represents a straight line, showing a constant rate of change.

Front

What is a non-linear graph?

Back

A non-linear graph is a graph that does not form a straight line, indicating a variable rate of change.
