Graphing Points on the Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent the coordinates of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 2)?

Back

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

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent?

Back

The origin of the coordinate plane, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (5, -3)?

Back

5, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (-4, 6)?

Back

6, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

If a point is located at (2, -5), which direction do you move from the origin?

Back

Move 2 units to the right and 5 units down.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative x-coordinate?

Back

It is located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative y-coordinate?

Back

It is located below the origin on the y-axis.

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of the point (3, -4)?

Back

It is in the fourth quadrant, where x is positive and y is negative.
