Graphing Points Practice

Front

What is the definition of 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), where X is the horizontal coordinate and Y is the vertical coordinate.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a graph?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point, locate the point on the graph, then read the horizontal value (X) and the vertical value (Y) from the axes.

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 graph.

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 graph.

Front

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

Back

The coordinate of the origin is (0,0).

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 4) on a graph?

Back

To plot the point (3, 4), move 3 units to the right along the X-axis and 4 units up along the Y-axis.

Front

What is the coordinate of Point A if it is located 5 units left and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The coordinate of Point A is (-5, 2).

Front

If a point has coordinates (-3, -4), in which quadrant is it located?

Back

The point (-3, -4) is located in Quadrant III.

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 2) and (4, 6)?

Back

The distance between the points (1, 2) and (4, 6) is 5 units.

Front

How do you determine the midpoint between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The midpoint is determined using the formula: ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).
