Graphing Ordered Pairs with Mrs. Kalka

What is an ordered pair?

• A pair of letters used to name a line

• A pair of colors used to differentiate axes

• A pair of shapes used to identify angles

• A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane

Which axis is represented by the first number in an ordered pair?

• W-axis

• X-axis

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

• The distance to move diagonally

• The distance to move up or down

• The distance to move left or right

• The distance to move forward or backward

What is the origin on a coordinate plane?

• The midpoint of the coordinate plane

• The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect

• The highest point on the y-axis

• The farthest point on the x-axis

Which line is horizontal on a coordinate plane?
