Coordinates & Line Plots

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to locate points on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis represents the horizontal line on a coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis represents the vertical line on a coordinate plane.

Front

How do you read an ordered pair?

Back

The first number represents the position on the x-axis, and the second number represents the position on the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

What is a line plot?

Back

A line plot is a graph that shows the frequency of data along a number line.

Front

How do you plot a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move up or down to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the purpose of a line plot?

Back

A line plot helps to visualize data and see how often each value occurs.

Front

What is the largest number in a data set?

Back

The largest number in a data set is the maximum value.
