Coordinate Graphing

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the ordered pair (0,0) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (0,0) represents the origin on a coordinate graph.

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate graph where the Y value is 0.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate graph where the X value is 0.

Front

How do you plot the point (2, 3)?

Back

To plot the point (2, 3), move 2 units to the right on the X-axis and then 3 units up on the Y-axis.

Front

What does it mean to move 'left' on a coordinate graph?

Back

Moving 'left' on a coordinate graph means decreasing the X value.

Front

What does it mean to move 'up' on a coordinate graph?

Back

Moving 'up' on a coordinate graph means increasing the Y value.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate graph?

Back

A coordinate graph is used to visually represent the relationship between two variables.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A if it is located at (2, 7)?

Back

The coordinates of point A are (2, 7).

Front

If you move 4 units left and 3 units up from the origin, what point do you reach?

Back

You reach the point (-4, 3).
