Plotting Points

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair (x, y)?

Back

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

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair (x, y)?

Back

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

Front

Which axis is vertical on a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical axis on a coordinate plane.

Front

Which axis is horizontal on a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal axis on a coordinate plane.

Front

In the ordered pair (3, -2), what is the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3.

Front

In the ordered pair (3, -2), what is the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is -2.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, 5) on a coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 4 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 5 units up (y-axis).

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The correct order is (x, y), where x is the first value and y is the second value.
