Coordinate Planes

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in a coordinate plane, written in the form (X,Y).

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 identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in the ordered pair, written as (X,Y).

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in the ordered pair, written as (X,Y).

Front

What is the coordinate of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate of the origin is (0,0).

Front

What is the significance of the point (0,1) in a coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0,1) represents a location where the x-coordinate is 0 and the y-coordinate is 1, indicating it is one unit above the origin on the y-axis.

Front

How do you plot the point (5,2) on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot the point (5,2), move 5 units to the right along the x-axis and then 2 units up along the y-axis.

Front

What is the y-coordinate of the ordered pair (4,9)?

Back

The y-coordinate of the ordered pair (4,9) is 9.

Front

What is the x-coordinate of the ordered pair (4,9)?

Back

The x-coordinate of the ordered pair (4,9) is 4.
