Plot and Label Ordered Pairs

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a grid. The first number tells the left-right position and the second number tells the up-down position.  

• x-axis

• Origin

• Ordered Pairs

The second number in an ordered pair, tells you to  move up or down.  

• Data

• x-coordinate

• y-coordinate

The first number in an ordered pair, tells you to  move left or right.

• Line Graph

• x-coordinate

• y-coordinate

A series of numbers placed at fixed distances on a graph to help label the graph.  

• Scale

• Y-coordinate

• Interval

What is the ordered pair for point A?

• ( 2, 0)

• ( 0 , 2)

• (0, -2)

• (-2,0)

Scarlett used the steps listed below to plot an ordered pair on a coordinate plane. Start at the origin. Move 6.5 units to the right. Move 1.25 units up. Place the point, and label the ordered pair. Which answer shows the correct label for the ordered pair that Scarlett plotted?

• (6.5, 1.25) 

• (1.25, 6.5)

• (6.5, 1.5)

• (6.5, 0)
