Coordinate Plane Study Guide

a grid formed by two number lines - one horizontal and one vertical - used to graph points, lines, and more

• coordinate plane

• point

• ordered pair

• origin

a set of numbers that gives a location on a coordinate plane

• origin

• ordered pair

• origin

the second number in an ordered pair; it tells us the number of spaces to move vertically

• x-coordinate

• y-axis

• y-coordinate

the point where the two axes of a coordinate grid intersect; (0,0)
