Coordinate Plane Vocabulary Math

1. A grid formed by a horizontal line, called the x-axis and a vertical line called the y-axis.

• ordered pair

• interval

• coordinate Grid

• coordinate

2. A pair of numbers used to locate a point on a grid. The first number tells the left-right position and the second number tells the up-down position.

• x-axis

• interval

• coordinate grid

• ordered pair

3. The point where the two axes of a coordinate plane intersect, (0, 0).

• scale

• interval

• y-axis

• origin

4. A series of numbers placed at fixed distances on a graph to help label the graph.

• scale

• interval

• x-coordinate

• y-coordinate

5. The horizontal number line on a coordinate plane.

• x-axis

• x-coordinate

6. The first number in an ordered pair, which tells the distance to move right or left from (0, 0)

• x-axis

• y-axis

• x-coordinate

• interval

7. The vertical number line on a coordinate plane

• x-axis

• y-coordinate

• y-axis

• y-coordinate

8. The second number in an ordered pair, which tells the distance to move up or down from .

• y-axis

• x-axis

• y-coordinate
