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). Each point on the grid is defined by an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis represents the horizontal line in a coordinate grid where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis represents the vertical line in a coordinate grid where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate grid?

Back

The four quadrants are: I (x positive, y positive), II (x negative, y positive), III (x negative, y negative), IV (x positive, y negative).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are identified as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

If a point has coordinates (3, -2), in which quadrant is it located?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean if both coordinates of a point are negative?

Back

If both coordinates are negative, the point is located in Quadrant III.

Front

How do you plot the point (5, 3) on a coordinate grid?

Back

To plot (5, 3), move 5 units to the right on the x-axis and 3 units up on the y-axis.

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).
