Coordinate Graphing

Coordinate Graphing Eagle Time

The Coordinate Plane

• The coordinate plane is made of two axes

• The X-Axis is the horizontal (left to right) line

• The Y-Axis is the vertical (up and down) line

Multiple Choice

Which axis is the horizontal line?

• The X-Axis

• The Y-Axis

Multiple Choice

Which axis is the vertical line?

• The X-Axis

• The Y-Axis

Ordered Pairs

Ordered pairs are always written in the format (x,y)

The X-Coordinate

• The x-coordinate is always the first value

• The x-coordinate tells us how far to move to the left or right

• 
  

The Y-Coordinate

• The y-coordinate is always the second value

• The y-coordinate tells us how far to move up or down

• 
  

Multiple Choice

In an ordered pair, what coordinate is the first value?

• The x-coordinate

• The y-coordinate

Multiple Choice

In an ordered pair, what coordinate is the second value?

• The x-coordinate

• The y-coordinate

Multiple Choice

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

• 7

• 8

Multiple Choice

In the ordered pair (7,8) which way does the 7 tell us to move?

• 7 Up

• 7 Down

• 7 Left

• 7 Right

Multiple Choice

In the ordered pair (-9,2) what is the y-coordinate?

• -9

• 2

Multiple Choice

In the ordered pair (-9,2) which way does the 2 tell us to move?

• 2 Up

• 2 Down

• 2 Left

• 2 Right

Multiple Choice

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

• -3

• -4

Multiple Choice

In the ordered pair (-3,-4) which way does the -4 tell us to move?

• 4 Up

• 4 Down

• 4 Left

• 4 Right

Multiple Choice

In the ordered pair (-5,2) what is the x-coordinate?

• -5

• 2

Multiple Choice

In the ordered pair (-5,2) which way does the 5 tell us to move?

• 5 Up

• 5 Down

• 5 Left

• 5 Right

Quadrants

The coordinate plane is split into four quadrants

Quadrant 1

• Quadrant 1 can be found on the top right

• The ordered pairs in quadrant 1 have a positive x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate

Quadrant 2

• Quadrant 2 can be found on the top left

• The ordered pairs in quadrant 2 have a negative x-coordinate and a positive y-coordinate

Quadrant 3

• Quadrant 3 can be found on the bottom left

• The ordered pairs in quadrant 3 have a negative x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate

Quadrant 4

• Quadrant 4 can be found on the bottom right

• The ordered pairs in quadrant 4 have a positive x-coordinate and a negative y-coordinate
