Identifying Ordered Pairs

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

How do you identify the X coordinate in the ordered pair (3, 4)?

Back

The X coordinate is 3.

Front

How do you identify the Y coordinate in the ordered pair (3, 4)?

Back

The Y coordinate is 4.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located 5 units right and 3 units up from the origin (0,0)?

Back

The ordered pair is (5, 3).

Front

If a point is located at (2, 6), what is its X coordinate?

Back

The X coordinate is 2.

Front

If a point is located at (2, 6), what is its Y coordinate?

Back

The Y coordinate is 6.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located at (X=4, Y=7)?

Back

The ordered pair is (4, 7).

Front

How do you write an ordered pair for the point at X=1 and Y=2?

Back

You write it as (1, 2).
