Coordinate Graphing

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by pairs of numbers (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position.

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 2)?

Back

Move 3 units right on the x-axis and 2 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does it mean to move left on the coordinate plane?

Back

To decrease the x-coordinate value.

Front

What does it mean to move up on the coordinate plane?

Back

To increase the y-coordinate value.

Front

If a point is at (0, 0), what is this point called?

Back

The origin.
