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?

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?

Back

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

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

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line in a coordinate plane.

Front

How do you plot a point with coordinates (3, 2)?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (x-coordinate), and then move 2 units up (y-coordinate).

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located 4 units left and 3 units down from the origin?

Back

The coordinates are (-4, -3).

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 2) and (1, 5)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, as they share the same x-coordinate.

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (5, 3)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, as they share the same y-coordinate.
