Describe the Process of Graphing

What is the vocabulary word for the beginning of the coordinate plane, located at the point (0,0)?

• x-axis

• y-axis

• Origin

• Ordered Pair

What is the vocabulary word for the vertical line on the left of the coordinate plane?

• X-axis

• Y-axis

• Origin

• Coordinate Plane

What is the vocabulary word for the horizontal line at the bottom of the coordinate plane?

• X-axis

• Y-axis

• Origin

• Ordered pair

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

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) on the Quadrant 1?

• x

• Y

Which axis runs horizontally (right) on the Quadrant 1?

• x

• y

In the ordered pair (4,9), which number is the y-coordinate?

• 4
• 9
• neither
• both

To graph the point (5, 9) on the coordinate plane, start at the origin. Move 5 units _______ and 9 units _______.

• right... down

• left... up

• right... up

• left.... down
