What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point in a two-dimensional space, typically written in the form (x, y), where x is the horizontal coordinate and y is the vertical coordinate.

What does the first coordinate in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first coordinate in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position of a point on a graph.

What does the second coordinate in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second coordinate in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position of a point on a graph.

How do you plot an ordered pair on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot an ordered pair (x, y), start at the origin (0, 0), move x units along the x-axis (right for positive, left for negative), and then move y units along the y-axis (up for positive, down for negative).

What is the significance of the order of coordinates in an ordered pair?

Back

The order of coordinates in an ordered pair is significant because (x, y) is not the same as (y, x); the first value always represents the x-coordinate and the second value represents the y-coordinate.

If a point is located at (0, 1), what does this indicate about its position?

Back

The point (0, 1) is located at the origin on the x-axis and 1 unit up on the y-axis.

How can you determine the location of a point given its ordered pair?

Back

You can determine the location of a point by interpreting the ordered pair as coordinates on a graph, where the first number indicates the horizontal position and the second number indicates the vertical position.
