Plotting Points

Front

What direction does the x-axis go?

Back

The x-axis goes left and right (horizontal).

Front

What do the coordinates (0, 0) represent?

Back

The coordinates (0, 0) represent the origin.

Front

What direction does the y-axis go?

Back

The y-axis goes up and down (vertical).

Front

In the ordered pair (4,9), which number is the y-coordinate?

Back

In the ordered pair (4,9), the y-coordinate is 9.

Front

Which point is at (1,3)?

Back

The point at (1,3) is point A.

Front

What is the definition of coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a graph, typically written as (x, y).

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

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

Back

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

Front

What are the four quadrants in a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).
