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 are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to represent the position of a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y).

Front

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

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

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

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

In the ordered pair (7, 8), which number is the x-coordinate?

Back

7

Front

Which axis runs horizontally on a coordinate grid?

Back

The x-axis.

Front

Which axis runs vertically on a coordinate grid?

Back

The y-axis.

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 identify a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

You identify a point by its ordered pair (x, y), where x is the distance from the origin along the x-axis and y is the distance along the y-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located at the origin?

Back
