Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to locate points on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What is the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in an ordered pair, representing the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair, representing the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

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

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

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point, find its position along the x-axis (x-coordinate) and y-axis (y-coordinate).

Front

What does it mean for a point to be on the x-axis?

Back

A point is on the x-axis if its y-coordinate is 0, meaning it lies horizontally along the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be on the y-axis?

Back

A point is on the y-axis if its x-coordinate is 0, meaning it lies vertically along the y-axis.

Front

What is a linear pattern?

Back

A linear pattern is a sequence of numbers that increases or decreases by the same amount each time.

Front

What is a graph?

Back

A graph is a visual representation of data or relationships between variables, often using points, lines, or bars.
