Graphing Ordered Pairs

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

• The point (0,0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

• The point where the x-axis meets the positive y-axis.

• The point (1,1) in the first quadrant.

• The point (0,1) where the y-axis intersects the x-axis.

What does it mean for a point to be in the third quadrant?

• A point in the third quadrant has both x and y coordinates that are negative.

• A point in the third quadrant has both x and y coordinates that are positive.

• A point in the third quadrant has an x coordinate that is negative and a y coordinate that is positive.

• A point in the third quadrant has an x coordinate that is positive and a y coordinate that is negative.

What is coordinate L?

• (3,4)

• (5,2)

• (1,1)

• (0,0)

What are the coordinates of a point that lies on the y-axis?

• (X, 0) where X can be any value

• (0, Y) where Y can be any value

• (Y, 0) where Y can be any value

• (0, 0) only

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

• The x-coordinate is the second number in the ordered pair (X,Y).

• The x-coordinate is the first number in the ordered pair (X,Y).

• The x-coordinate is the average of the two numbers in the ordered pair (X,Y).

• The x-coordinate is the sum of the two numbers in the ordered pair (X,Y).

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

• The horizontal position on the graph.

• The vertical position on the graph.

• The distance from the origin to the point.

• The slope of the line represented by the pair.

In the coordinate points (2,7), the 2 represents:

• The y-coordinate in the ordered pair.

• The x-coordinate in the ordered pair.

• The origin point of the graph.

• The distance from the origin.

How can you tell if two points are on the same horizontal line?

• They have the same x-coordinate.

• They have the same y-coordinate.

• They are equidistant from the origin.

• They lie on the same vertical line.

What is the significance of the x-axis and y-axis?

• The x-axis represents the vertical values, while the y-axis represents the horizontal values in a coordinate plane.

• The x-axis represents the horizontal values, while the y-axis represents the vertical values in a coordinate plane.

• The x-axis and y-axis are used to measure time in a graph.

• The x-axis is used for labeling categories, while the y-axis is used for numerical values.

How do you determine the position of a point on a graph?

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

• Move vertically to the y-coordinate first, then horizontally to the x-coordinate.

• Choose any point on the graph without following any specific order.

• Draw a line from the origin to the point without considering coordinates.
