 Coordinating Axes
The horizontal axis is called the x-axis,
The vertical axis is called the y-axis.
The origin is where both the axes (or lines) intersect (or meet).

 What Is an Ordered Pair?
Now, that we have discussed the Coordinating System consisting of axes,
horizontal, and vertical lines in a coordinate plane (graph), let’s talk about ordered
pair.

Turn and talk to your

neighbour about what
an ordered pair might
be. Use your
background knowledge
to help you.
 Ordered Pair Explanation
y 10
An ordered pair consists of 9
the coordinates of one 8
point in the coordinating
system. 7

 How to Graph a Point

The x-axis shows you how to

move to the right (positive) or
left (negative).

 How to Graph a Point

The x-axis shows you how to

The y-axis shows you how to

move up (positive) or down
(negative).

 How to Graph a Point

The x-axis shows you how to

move to the right (positive) or

This number plane x

is called
Cartesian plane

The y-axis shows you how to

move up (positive) or down
(negative).

 Review
A coordinating system is a method for finding points on a coordinate plane or flat
surface (such as a graph).

Test your skills:

What is the horizontal axes called? y-axis/x-axis Answer: x-axis

What is the vertical axes called? x-axis/y-axis Answer: y-axis

Answer:
How many quadrants are there?
four

Both x and y axes intersect or meet at ) . Answer:

two/zero zero
