Understanding Ordered Pairs and Coordinates

The video tutorial introduces coordinate graphs using the game Battleship as an analogy. It explains the concepts of x-axis, y-axis, and ordered pairs, and demonstrates how to plot points on a coordinate plane. The tutorial includes practice examples to reinforce understanding of ordered pairs and their significance in locating points on a graph.

What game is used as an analogy to explain coordinate graphs?

• Chess

• Battleship

• Monopoly

• Scrabble

In the game analogy, what do the letters and numbers represent?

• Moves

• Players

• Ships

• Coordinates

What is another term for a coordinate graph?

• Number line

• Coordinate plane

• Axis chart

• Grid system

Which axis is horizontal on a coordinate plane?

• Y-axis

• X-axis

• Z-axis

• W-axis

What is the vertical axis on a coordinate plane called?

• W-axis

• Z-axis

• X-axis

• Y-axis

What is an ordered pair?

• A pair of coordinates

• A pair of symbols

• A pair of numbers in a specific order

• A pair of letters

In an ordered pair, which axis is represented by the first number?

• X-axis

• Z-axis

• W-axis

• Y-axis

How do you find a point on the coordinate plane using an ordered pair?

• By using a ruler

• By drawing a line

• By guessing

• By locating the numbers on the axes

What happens if you switch the numbers in an ordered pair?

• The point becomes invalid

• The point remains the same

• The point changes location

• The point disappears

If the ordered pair is (5, 8), where do you start on the coordinate plane?

• X-axis at 8

• Y-axis at 8

• X-axis at 5

• Y-axis at 5
