coordinate grid

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by two perpendicular lines called axes, where points are identified by ordered pairs of numbers.

Front

What are the two axes in a coordinate grid called?

Back

The horizontal axis is called the x-axis, and the vertical axis is called the y-axis.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the position along the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the position along the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the coordinate of point A located in the first quadrant?

Back

An example of a coordinate in the first quadrant is (3, 4).

Front

What is the coordinate of point B located in the second quadrant?

Back

An example of a coordinate in the second quadrant is (-3, 4).

Front

What is the coordinate of point C located in the third quadrant?

Back

An example of a coordinate in the third quadrant is (-3, -4).
