Coordinate Graphing

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 x-value represent in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-value represent in an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

In which quadrant is the point (x, y) located if both x and y are positive?

Back

Quadrant I.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (x, y) located if x is negative and y is positive?

Back

Quadrant II.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (x, y) located if x is negative and y is negative?

Back

Quadrant III.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (x, y) located if x is positive and y is negative?

Back

Quadrant IV.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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