Coordinate pairs

Front

What are coordinate pairs?

Back

Coordinate pairs are a set of two numbers that define a point on a coordinate grid, usually written in the form (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 coordinate grid.

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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 coordinate pair (0, 0).

Front

In the coordinate pair (3, 4), what is the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3.

Front

In the coordinate pair (3, 4), what is the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 4.

Front

True or False: The x-coordinate comes before the y-coordinate in a coordinate pair.

Back

True.

Front

True or False: The point (0, 5) is located on the y-axis.

Back

True.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is used to locate points in a two-dimensional space using x and y coordinates.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate grid where x is 0.
