Plotting Points Review

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?

Back

The x-axis represents the horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis represents the vertical line in a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

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

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move right 3 units (for x), then move up 2 units (for y).

Front

What is the coordinate of the origin?

Back

The coordinate of the origin is (0, 0).

Front

What is the first number in an ordered pair called?

Back

The first number is called the x-coordinate.

Front

What is the second number in an ordered pair called?

Back

The second number is called the y-coordinate.

Front

If a point is located at (0, 4), where is it on the coordinate plane?

Back

It is located on the y-axis, 4 units above the origin.

Front

What direction do you move to plot a negative x-coordinate?

Back

You move to the left on the x-axis.

Front

What direction do you move to plot a positive y-coordinate?

Back

You move up on the y-axis.
