Show answer
The vertical number line on a coordinate plane- What is an ordered pair?
Show answer
A pair of numbers (x, y) that locates a point on a coordinate plane- In the ordered pair (x, y), what does x represent?
Show answer
The horizontal distance from the origin (left or right)- In the ordered pair (x, y), what does y represent?
Show answer
The vertical distance from the origin (up or down)- Where is Quadrant I located?
Show answer
Upper right, where x is positive and y is positive- Where is Quadrant II located?
