Graphing Coordinates

Front

What is an ordered pair in graphing coordinates?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, written as (x, y), where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the input value in an ordered pair, indicating the horizontal position on the graph.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the output value in an ordered pair, indicating the vertical position on the graph.

Front

If the rule is 'Multiply the input by 4', what is the output for the input 2?

Back

The output is 8, because 2 multiplied by 4 equals 8.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 8) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Move 3 units to the right along the x-axis and then 8 units up along the y-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a point is 8 units up from the x-axis?

Back

It means that the y-coordinate of the point is 8.

Front

What is the purpose of graphing ordered pairs?

Back

Graphing ordered pairs helps visualize the relationship between two variables, showing how one variable changes in relation to another.

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 is the first step to graphing a point?

Back

Identify the ordered pair (x, y) and start by locating the x-coordinate on the x-axis.

Front

What does the point (0, 7) represent on a graph?

Back

It represents a point that is 0 units to the right of the y-axis and 7 units up from the x-axis.
