Graphing pre-assessment

Front

Which point is closer to the x-axis? (1, 7) or (1, 2)?

Back

(1, 2) is closer to the x-axis because it has a smaller y-coordinate.

Front

What is the point where the x-axis and y-axis meet called?

Back

The origin.

Front

Which equation of a line matches the table? y = x + 2, y = 2x, y = x – 2, or y = 3x?

Back

y = 2x.

Front

What is the ordered pair of point E? (2,5), (5,2), (-5,2), or (5,-2)?

Back

(5,2).

Front

What is a coordinate pair? What does it look like?

Back

A coordinate pair is a point on the Cartesian plane, represented as (x,y).

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a graph?

Back

The x-axis represents the horizontal line in a Cartesian coordinate system.

Front

What does the y-axis represent in a graph?

Back

The y-axis represents the vertical line in a Cartesian coordinate system.

Front

What is the definition of a slope in a graph?

Back

The slope is a measure of the steepness of a line, calculated as the rise over run.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a graph?

Back

The coordinates are identified as (x,y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What is the difference between the first and second quadrants in a Cartesian plane?

Back

The first quadrant has positive x and y values, while the second quadrant has negative x values and positive y values.
