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 write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written as (X,Y), where X is the x-coordinate and Y is the y-coordinate.

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

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

If a point is located at (3,4), what is its x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3.

Front

If a point is located at (3,4), what is its y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 4.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point R if it is located at (0,1)?

Back

The ordered pair for point R is (0,1).
