Plotting point on a coordinate grid When we look at ordered pairs the x is always the first number in the ordered pair and the y is always the second. For example, in the ordered pair (3,7) the x coordinate is the 3 and the y coordinate is the 7. The X-AXIS runs horizontally (left to right) and the Y-AXIS runs vertically (up and down). Match the word with the correct definition. X-Axis Runs horizontally (left to right) Y-Axis Runs vertically (up and down) Origin Point where x-axis and y-axis meet (0,0) Ordered Pair Consists of two numbers in a certain order (x, y) In the ordered pair (2, 1) the 2 represents the _. X coordinate Y coordinate Origin In the ordered pair (9,4) the 4 represents the _. X coordinate Y coordinate Origin Label the location of each place in Tim's neighborhood with coordinates. Ex. (0,0) (2,3) (1,9) (7,9) (11,11) (10,2) Use the following grid for the next question. Which shape is 3 units from the 𝑦-axis and 3 units from the 𝑥-axis? What is the ordered pair for Point T? (7,3) Ms. Argrow wants to plot the point (6,4) on the coordinate grid. How would she do that? begin at the origin, go up 6 spaces and to the right 4 spaces. begin at the origin, go to the right 6 spaces, and up 4 spaces. begin at the origin, go to the right 4 spaces and up 6 spaces. begin at the origin, go over to the right 6 spaces and down 4 spaces. Name one of the points found on the coordinate grid. Name one of the points found on the coordinate grid from the previous image.
