Coordinate Graphs

Front

What is a coordinate graph?

Back

A coordinate graph is a two-dimensional space where points are plotted using pairs of numbers called coordinates, which represent their position on the graph.

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate graph?

Back

The axes are the two perpendicular lines that form the graph: the horizontal line is called the x-axis, and the vertical line is called the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate graph?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot a point on a coordinate graph?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move up or down to the y-coordinate.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers (x, y) that define the position of a point on a coordinate graph.

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the graph.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the graph.

Front

What is the first quadrant in a coordinate graph?

Back

The first quadrant is the section of the graph where both x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is the second quadrant in a coordinate graph?

Back

The second quadrant is the section of the graph where x coordinates are negative and y coordinates are positive.

Front

What is the third quadrant in a coordinate graph?

Back

The third quadrant is the section of the graph where both x and y coordinates are negative.
