Coordinate Graphing

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 are the coordinates of the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

(0, 0)

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 plane.

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 plane.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

How do you identify a point in the first quadrant?

Back

In the first quadrant, both the x and y coordinates are positive.

Front

How do you identify a point in the second quadrant?

Back

In the second quadrant, the x-coordinate is negative and the y-coordinate is positive.

Front

How do you identify a point in the third quadrant?

Back

In the third quadrant, both the x and y coordinates are negative.

Front

How do you identify a point in the fourth quadrant?

Back

In the fourth quadrant, the x-coordinate is positive and the y-coordinate is negative.
