Exploring Ordered Pairs in Writing and Graphing

Why is it important to use parentheses when writing ordered pairs?

• To separate the numbers from the text

• To indicate that the numbers form a pair

• To show that the numbers are positive

• To make the numbers look neat

What does the x-axis represent in a graph?

• The horizontal line

• The vertical line

• The line that goes up and down

• The line that goes left and right

If you move to the left on the x-axis, what type of value are you moving towards?

• Negative

• Positive

• Zero

• Neutral

What is the ordered pair for the origin?

• (0,1)

• (1,0)

• (0,0)

• (1,1)

What is the ordered pair for point A if the x value is -2 and the y value is 3?

• (2,3)

• (-2,-3)

• (-2,3)

• (2,-3)

How do you determine the x value from an input/output table?

• It is the sum of input and output

• It is the output value

• It is the difference between input and output

• It is the input value

What is the ordered pair for point B if the x value is 3 and the y value is 2?

• (3,-2)

• (-3,2)

• (3,2)

• (2,3)

When graphing a point starting from the origin, which axis do you move along first?

• Y-axis

• It doesn't matter

• Z-axis

• X-axis

If you start at the origin and move to (-2, 3), where do you place your point?

• At (-2, -3)

• At (2, 3)

• At (-2, 3)

• At (2, -3)

What is the ordered pair for point E if the x value is -2 and the y value is -4?

• (2,-4)

• (-2,4)

• (2,4)
