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
