Graphing Coordinates

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, typically represented as (x, y).

Front

What does the ordered pair (0, 0) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (0, 0) represents the origin point on a graph, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line on a graph where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line on a graph where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you identify a point on a graph?

Back

A point on a graph is identified by its coordinates, written as (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What is the significance of the first number in an ordered pair?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair (x, y) represents the position along the X-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the second number in an ordered pair?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair (x, y) represents the position along the Y-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative x-coordinate?

Back

A negative x-coordinate means the point is located to the left of the origin on the graph.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative y-coordinate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate means the point is located below the origin on the graph.

Front

What is the quadrant system in graphing?

Back

The quadrant system divides the graph into four sections based on the signs of the coordinates: Quadrant I (+,+), Quadrant II (-,+), Quadrant III (-,-), Quadrant IV (+,-).
