Jones BCE Ordered Pairs over then up

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you locate the point (2,5) on a graph?

Back

Move 2 units to the right on the x-axis, then move 5 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the point of origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

In the ordered pair (4,9), what is the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 9.

Front

If you have the ordered pair (3,7), how do you find its location on a graph?

Back

Move 3 units to the right on the x-axis, then move 7 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What does it mean to graph a point?

Back

To graph a point means to plot its location on the coordinate plane using its ordered pair.
