Which ordered pair represents the point of origin?

• (5,5)

• (0,0)

• (x,y)

• (0,1)

A student graphs a point that is represented by the ordered pair (2,5). What does the number 5 represent?

Remember x you slide, y you fly

• The point is 5 units to the right of 0 on the y-axis

• The point is 5 units to the right of 0 on the x-axis

• The point is 5 units above 0 on the x-axis

• The point is 5 units above 0 on the y-axis

If you are trying to find the location of the ordered pair (4,8) what movement would you do first?

• Move right along the x-axis to 4

• Move up along the y-axis to 4

• Move right along the y-axis to 8

• Move up along the x-axis to 8

How do you write an ordered pair?

• First you write the number for the y-axis and then the number for the x-axis

• First you write the number for the x-axis and then the number for the y-axis

The ordered pair (0,0) is also known as...

• The point of zero

• The point of origin

• Nothing

• The end point

Which ordered pair represents the Ring Toss?

• (4,7)

• (3,1)

• (7,4)

• (2,6)

How can you move from Point P to Point Q?

• Move 5 units up and 6 units to the right

• Move 6 units up and 6 units to the right

• Move 5 units to the right and 6 units up

• Move 5 units to the right and 5 units up

When looking for an ordered pair you should always start at

• the point of origin

• the biggest number

• the smallest number

• the y-axis

Which axis runs vertically (up and down)?

• x

• Y

Which axis runs horizontally (side to side)?

• x
