Coordinate plane & Graphing ordered pairs Test Review

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using 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), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane that represents the value of 'x' in an ordered pair.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane that represents the value of 'y' in an ordered pair.

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

How many quadrants are in a coordinate plane?

Back

There are four quadrants in a coordinate plane, numbered I, II, III, and IV, starting from the upper right and moving counterclockwise.

Front

What is the location of point (3, -2)?

Back

Point (3, -2) is located in Quadrant IV, where 'x' is positive and 'y' is negative.

Front

What is the ordered pair for point A located at 4 units right and 3 units up from the origin?

Back

The ordered pair for point A is (4, 3).

Front

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

Back

The first number in an ordered pair represents the position along the x-axis.

Front

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

Back

The second number in an ordered pair represents the position along the y-axis.
