Graphing Ordered Pairs

Front

What is the x-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line in a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

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.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

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

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The coordinates are identified by moving horizontally to the x-value and vertically to the y-value.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0,0)?

Back

The point (0,0) is known as the origin and serves as the reference point for all other points in the coordinate plane.

Front

If a point is located at (3, 4), what are its x and y coordinates?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3 and the y-coordinate is 4.

Front

What is the relationship between the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is horizontal, while the y-axis is vertical; they intersect at the origin.
