What are coordinates?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position on a grid, indicating how far to move left or right from the origin.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position on a grid, indicating how far to move up or down from the origin.

Front

How do you plot a point on a grid?

Back

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

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

If a point has coordinates (6, 3), how do you plot it?

Back

Move right 6 spaces and then move up 3 spaces from the origin.

Front

What shape is typically used to represent a point on a grid?

Back

A point is usually represented by a dot or a small circle.

Front

What is the difference between moving right and moving left on a grid?

Back

Moving right increases the x-coordinate, while moving left decreases the x-coordinate.

Front

What is the difference between moving up and moving down on a grid?

Back

Moving up increases the y-coordinate, while moving down decreases the y-coordinate.

Front

What does it mean if a point is at (8, 0)?

Back

It means the point is 8 units to the right of the origin and 0 units up or down.
