Coordinate Graphing

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to represent a point on a coordinate plane, typically written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the coordinates of point B if it is located at (-4, 6)?

Back

The coordinates of point B are (-4, 6), where -4 is the x-coordinate and 6 is the y-coordinate.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, -2) located?

Back

The point (3, -2) is located in Quadrant IV, where x is positive and y is negative.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical axis on the coordinate plane, where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal axis on the coordinate plane, where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What are the signs of the x and y values in Quadrant II?

Back

In Quadrant II, the x value is negative and the y value is positive.

Front

What are the signs of the x and y values in Quadrant III?

Back

In Quadrant III, both the x and y values are negative.

Front

What are the signs of the x and y values in Quadrant I?

Back

In Quadrant I, both the x and y values are positive.
