Coordinate Grid - Quadrant 1

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate grid, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of a point on the coordinate grid.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line on a coordinate grid.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line on a coordinate grid.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate grid?

Back

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

Front

If you move UP on the coordinate grid, which direction are you going?

Back

You are increasing the y-coordinate.

Front

If you move LEFT on the coordinate grid, which direction are you going?

Back

You are decreasing the x-coordinate.

Front

What is the location of point A if it is at (4, 2)?

Back

Point A is located 4 units to the right and 2 units up from the origin.

Front

How do you find the location of a point given its ordered pair?

Back

Start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, then move vertically to the y-coordinate.
