Ordered Pairs

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), what does 'x' represent?

Back

In the ordered pair (x, y), 'x' represents the x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the graph.

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), what does 'y' represent?

Back

In the ordered pair (x, y), 'y' represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the graph.

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in the ordered pair, written as (x, y).

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in the ordered pair, written as (x, y).

Front

What is the correct format for writing an ordered pair?

Back

The correct format for writing an ordered pair is (X, Y).

Front

If the ordered pair is (3, 5), what is the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-coordinate is 3.

Front

If the ordered pair is (3, 5), what is the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-coordinate is 5.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent on a graph?

Back

The point (0, 0) represents the origin on a graph, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

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