Ordered Pair

set of two numbers used to locate a point in a coordinate plane

Coordinate Plane

is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a vertical line called y-axis and a horizontal line called x-axis.

Origin

On a two-dimensional graph it is where the X axis and Y axis cross

Point

A point is the basic relationship displayed on a graph

Quadrant

There are 4 quadrants in a coordinate plane - we will focus on Quadrant 1 this year

X-axis

is the horizontal axis of a two-dimensional plot

Y-axis

is the vertical axis of a two-dimensional plot

X- coordinate

The horizontal value in a pair of coordinates: how far along the point is

Y - coordinate

The vertical value in a pair of coordinates. How far up or down the point is

Multiplicative Pattern

The graph passes through the origin

Additive Pattern

The graph does NOT pass through the origin

Rule

how to convert an input value (x) into an output value (y) for a given function

Table

set of facts and figures arranged in columns and rows and. is a very useful way of organizing numerical information or data

Scatter Plot

Bar Graph

Dot Plot
