Coordinate Grid and Geometry Worksheet

Front

What is the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair that determines the movement left or right from the origin on a coordinate grid.

Front

What does the y-coordinate in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair that determines the movement up or down from the origin on a coordinate grid.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent on a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, 5) on a coordinate grid?

Back

Move 4 units to the right on the x-axis and 5 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate grid?

Back

To provide a framework for locating points using ordered pairs.

Front

What are the axes on a coordinate grid?

Back

The horizontal line is the x-axis, and the vertical line is the y-axis.

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, 5) on a coordinate grid?

Back

2 units, as they are vertically aligned on the same x-coordinate.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative x-coordinate?

Back

The point is located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative y-coordinate?

Back

The point is located below the origin on the y-axis.
