Plot Points Part 1

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 represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To identify a point, use its ordered pair (x, y) to move x units along the x-axis and y units along the y-axis.

Front

What is the coordinate for point G if it is located at (3, 0)?

Back

The coordinate for point G is (3, 0).

Front

What is the coordinate for point O if it is located at (0, -6)?

Back

The coordinate for point O is (0, -6).

Front

What is the ordered pair for point E?

Back

The ordered pair for point E is (-3, 0).

Front

What is the ordered pair for point L?

Back

The ordered pair for point L is (-4, -4).

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

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