Understanding Ordered Pairs and Coordinates

This video tutorial covers the basics of ordered pairs and coordinate grids, focusing on the x and y axes. It explains how to plot points using ordered pairs and provides practice problems to reinforce these concepts. The tutorial also explores real-world applications of coordinate grids and concludes with a preview of the next lesson on graphing data.

What is the horizontal number line on a coordinate grid called?

• Y-axis

• Z-axis

• X-axis

• W-axis

• Third quadrant

• Fourth quadrant

• Second quadrant

• First quadrant

What is the ordered pair for the origin on a coordinate grid?

• (1,1)

• (0,0)

• (0,1)

• (1,0)

How do you determine the x-coordinate of a point?

• By looking at the vertical distance

• By looking at the horizontal distance
