Graphing 1st Quadrant

Front

What is a coordinate?

Back

A coordinate is a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, typically represented as an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the graph.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the graph.

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal axis of the coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical axis of the coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

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.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a graph?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point, find its horizontal position (x-coordinate) and vertical position (y-coordinate) from the origin.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a graph, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What is the significance of the first quadrant in graphing?

Back

The first quadrant is the section of the coordinate plane where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

If a point has coordinates (3, 4), what are its x and y values?

Back

The x value is 3 and the y value is 4.
