Coordinate Grids

Front

What is a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using pairs of numbers called coordinates.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a coordinate grid, usually written as (x, y).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate grid, representing the first number in a coordinate pair.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate grid, representing the second number in a coordinate pair.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the coordinates (0, 0).

Front

How do you locate a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To locate a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What are the coordinates for Point A if it is located at (2,5)?

Back

Point A is located at (2,5), meaning 2 units right on the x-axis and 5 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates for Point B if it is located at (6,3)?

Back

Point B is located at (6,3), meaning 6 units right on the x-axis and 3 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is used to visually represent and locate points, lines, and shapes in a two-dimensional space.

Front

What is the difference between the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal position, while the y-coordinate indicates the vertical position on a coordinate grid.
