Graphing - First Quadrant

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 in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the graph.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the graph.

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

In the ordered pair (3, 4), what is the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3.

Front

In the ordered pair (3, 4), what is the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 4.

Front

What quadrant is the point (2, 3) located in?

Back

The point (2, 3) is located in the first quadrant.

Front

What is the significance of the first quadrant?

Back

The first quadrant is where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, 2) on a graph?

Back

To plot (4, 2), move 4 units to the right on the x-axis and 2 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point B if it is located at x=2 and y=8?

Back

The ordered pair for point B is (2, 8).
