Graphing on Coordinate Plane

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?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate plane, indicating how far to move left or right from the origin.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate plane, indicating how far to move up or down from the origin.

Front

How do you plot a point with coordinates (3, 4)?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-axis), and then move 4 units up (y-axis) to plot the point.

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I: (+, +), Quadrant II: (-, +), Quadrant III: (-, -), Quadrant IV: (+, -).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are 4 quadrants in a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the first number in an ordered pair?

Back

The first number (x-coordinate) indicates the horizontal position of the point.

Front

What is the significance of the second number in an ordered pair?

Back

The second number (y-coordinate) indicates the vertical position of the point.

Front

If a point is located at (-2, 3), where is it positioned?

Back

It is located 2 units to the left and 3 units up from the origin.
