Plotting Points

Front

What is a coordinate point?

Back

A coordinate point is a pair of numbers that define a specific location on a two-dimensional plane, represented as (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in a coordinate pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the Cartesian plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in a coordinate pair?

Back

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

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate system?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a graph where y = 0.

Front

How do you identify the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a graph where x = 0.

Front

What is the ordered pair format?

Back

The ordered pair format is (x, y), where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.

Front

If a point has coordinates (3, 4), what is its x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3.

Front

If a point has coordinates (3, 4), what is its y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 4.

Front

True or False: The coordinates of a point are always written as (y, x).

Back

False, they are written as (x, y).
