Plotting Points with Mr. J!

What is the grid in the picture called?

• square graph

• number line

• coordinate plane

• line plot

The coordinate plane is made up of the x-axis and the y-axis. Which one goes side to side along the bottom?

• a-axis

• b-axis

• x-axis

• y-axis

Which axis on the coordinate plane is vertical and goes up and down?

• a-axis

• b-axis

• x-axis

• y-axis

When you are given two numbers together to graph on a coordinate plane, they are called....

• an ordered pair

• some numbers

• whatever you want to call it

• xyz

Another word for ordered pair is....

• coordinates

• some numbers

• whatever you want to call it

• xyz

The first number in the ordered pair is always your....

• a-coordinate

• b-coordinate

• x-coordinate

• y-coordinate

The second number in your ordered pair is always going to be your....

• a-coordinate

• b-coordinate

• x-coordinate

• y-coordinate

If my ordered pair is (6,2), which number is my x-coordinate?

• (

• 6

• 2

• )

In the ordered pair, (9,1), which is the y-coordinate?

• (

• 9

• 1

• )

If you see (3,4) it means....

• Plot it on the x-axis

• Go over 3

• Go over 4

• Go over 3 and up 4
