Coordinate grids

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). Each point on the grid is identified by an ordered pair of numbers (x, y).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y). The first number represents the x-coordinate, and the second number represents the y-coordinate.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid. It indicates how far to move left or right from the origin (0,0).

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid. It indicates how far to move up or down from the origin (0,0).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

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 plot a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0,0). Move right or left according to the x-coordinate, then move up or down according to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the coordinate of point A?

Back

(2, 4) - This means move 2 units right and 4 units up from the origin.

Front

What is the coordinate of point E?

Back

(5, 2) - This means move 5 units right and 2 units up from the origin.

Front

What is the coordinate of point N?

Back

(6, 6) - This means move 6 units right and 6 units up from the origin.

Front

What is the shape at (5, 1) on the coordinate grid?

Back

The shape is located in quadrant I, specifically at point D.
