Ordered Pairs

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

Ordered pairs are pairs of numbers used to locate points on a coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number 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 represents the y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the coordinate of the point located 10 units to the right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

(10, 2) is the coordinate of the point.

Front

Which axis is represented by the x-coordinate?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal axis on the coordinate plane.

Front

Which axis is represented by the y-coordinate?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical axis on the coordinate plane.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point located at (0, 0)?

Back

(0, 0) is known as the origin.

Front

If a point has coordinates (5, -3), what does the negative sign indicate?

Back

The negative sign in the y-coordinate (-3) indicates that the point is located 3 units below the x-axis.

Front

Back

(10, -2) is the coordinate of the Triangle.

Front

What are the coordinates of the Square given in the question?

Back

(2, 5) is the coordinate of the Square.
