Coordinate Grid Mania

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, 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 grid.

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 grid.

Front

What is the coordinate grid?

Back

The coordinate grid is a two-dimensional plane formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

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

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

How do you plot a point on a coordinate grid?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the purpose of a coordinate grid?

Back

A coordinate grid is used to locate points, graph equations, and visualize relationships between numbers.

Front

What is the first number in an ordered pair called?

Back

The first number in an ordered pair is called the x-coordinate.
