Graphing Ordered Pairs

Front

What is the y-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the x-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

In an ordered pair (x, y), what does the first number represent?

Back

The first number represents the x-coordinate.

Front

In an ordered pair (x, y), what does the second number represent?

Back

The second number represents the y-coordinate.

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 4) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 4 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, y) on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, y) lies on the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the point (x, 0) on the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (x, 0) lies on the x-axis.

Front

If a point is located at (8, 5), what is its x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 8.

Front

If a point is located at (8, 5), what is its y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 5.
