Plotting Ordered Pairs

The video tutorial explains the concept of ordered pairs, which consist of two numbers representing coordinates on a grid. It covers how to plot these pairs on a coordinate grid, starting from the origin and moving along the X and Y axes. The tutorial also discusses using tables to create ordered pairs and how to plot them. The importance of understanding ordered pairs in everyday situations is highlighted, emphasizing the need for accuracy in writing and plotting them.

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

• The Y coordinate

• The quadrant

• The X coordinate

• The origin

How many quadrants are there in a coordinate grid?

• Two

• Five

• Three

• Four

Where do you start when plotting an ordered pair on a grid?

• At the quadrant

• At the Y coordinate

• At the X coordinate

• At the origin

If the ordered pair is (0, 1), how do you plot it?

• Move 0 units along the X axis

• Move 0 units along the Y axis

• Move 1 unit along the Y axis

• Move 1 unit along the X axis

What is the first step in plotting the ordered pair (2, 3)?

• Move 3 units along the X axis

• Move 2 units along the Y axis

• Move 2 units along the X axis

• Move 3 units along the Y axis

How do you create an ordered pair from a table of values?

• By multiplying the values

• By combining values from two patterns

• By subtracting the values

• By adding the values

Why is order important when writing and plotting ordered pairs?

• Because the X coordinate always comes first

• Because the quadrant must be identified first

• Because the Y coordinate always comes first

• Because the origin must be plotted first
