Plotting Points

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), where 'x' is the horizontal coordinate and 'y' is the vertical coordinate.

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 coordinate plane.

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 coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 0) on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot the point (3, 0), move 3 units to the right along the x-axis and 0 units up or down along the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of negative coordinates in an ordered pair?

Back

Negative coordinates indicate positions to the left of the origin (for x-coordinates) and below the origin (for y-coordinates) on the coordinate plane.

Front

What point is represented by the ordered pair (-4, -4)?

Back

The point represented by the ordered pair (-4, -4) is located 4 units left and 4 units down from the origin.

Front

How do you identify a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To identify a point on a coordinate plane, locate the x-coordinate on the horizontal axis and the y-coordinate on the vertical axis, then find where these two values intersect.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point B if it is located at (1, 2)?

Back

The ordered pair for point B is (1, 2).

Front

If a point is at (0, 5), what does this indicate?

Back

This indicates that the point is located at the origin's vertical line (x=0) and 5 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point K if it is located at (3, -3)?

Back

The ordered pair for point K is (3, -3).
