Coordinates

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a grid or a map, usually represented as an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The first number in a coordinate pair represents the horizontal position (x-coordinate) on the grid.

Front

What does the second number in a coordinate pair represent?

Back

The second number in a coordinate pair represents the vertical position (y-coordinate) on the grid.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located 5 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

(5, 2)

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a graph?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point, find its horizontal position (x) and vertical position (y) and write them as an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What is the coordinate of the origin?

Back

The coordinate of the origin is (0, 0).

Front

If a point has coordinates (3, 4), what is its x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3.

Front

If a point has coordinates (6, -2), what is its y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is -2.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located at 0 on the x-axis and 4 on the y-axis?

Back

(0, 4)

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located at 8 on the x-axis and 3 on the y-axis?

Back

(8, 3)
