Coordinate Grids

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using 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 grid, written in the form (x, y).

Front

In the ordered pair (4, 9), which number is the X coordinate?

Back

4

Front

In the ordered pair (4, 9), which number is the Y coordinate?

Back

9

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

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 find the coordinates of a point on a grid?

Back

To find the coordinates of a point, count how many units you move along the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) from the origin.

Front

What are the coordinates of point G if it is at the origin?

Back

(0, 0)

Front

What are the coordinates of point N if it is located at (6, 6)?

Back

(6, 6)

Front

What does it mean to move east on a coordinate grid?

Back

Moving east means increasing the x-coordinate while keeping the y-coordinate the same.

Front

What does it mean to move north on a coordinate grid?

Back

Moving north means increasing the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same.
