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 first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number (x) represents the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number (y) represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

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 plot a point on a coordinate graph?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move horizontally to the x-coordinate, and then vertically to the y-coordinate.

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 quadrant is point (3, 4) located in?

Back

Point (3, 4) is located in Quadrant I.

Front

What quadrant is point (-3, 4) located in?

Back

Point (-3, 4) is located in Quadrant II.

Front

What quadrant is point (-3, -4) located in?

Back

Point (-3, -4) is located in Quadrant III.
