Identify Points on the Coordinate Plane

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

In which quadrant would you find the point (3, 2)?

Back

Quadrant 1, where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (-3, 2)?

Back

Quadrant 2, where x is negative and y is positive.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (-3, -2)?

Back

Quadrant 3, where both x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

In which quadrant would you find the point (3, -2)?

Back

Quadrant 4, where x is positive and y is negative.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line on a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line on a coordinate plane.

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).
