Coordinate Graphing

Front

What is 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).

Front

What does the X-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal (left and right) axis on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the Y-axis represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical (up and down) axis on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you identify the location of a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

You identify the location of a point by using its ordered pair (x, y), where x is the position on the X-axis and y is the position on the Y-axis.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point A if it is located 2 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin?

Back

(2, 3)

Front

What is the ordered pair for point B if it is located 4 units to the left and 2 units down from the origin?

Back

(-4, -2)

Front

What is the origin on a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

If a point has an ordered pair of (5, -2), where is it located?

Back

It is located 5 units to the right and 2 units down from the origin.

Front

What is the significance of the first number in an ordered pair?

Back

The first number represents the position on the X-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the second number in an ordered pair?

Back

The second number represents the position on the Y-axis.
