Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, written in the form (X,Y).

Front

How do you write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written as (X,Y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number (X) represents the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number (Y) represents the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 4) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0,0), move right 3 units (X), then move up 4 units (Y).

Front

What is the ordered pair of point E if it is located at (5,2)?

Back

The ordered pair of point E is (5,2).
