2. Definition
Grid – A pattern of horizontal and vertical lines, usually forming squares.

3. Definition
Coordinate grid – a grid used to locate a point by its distances from 2 intersecting straight lines. 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6

4. x Definition x axis – a horizontal number line on a coordinate grid. 11 2 3 4 5 6

5. y Definition y axis – a vertical number line on a coordinate grid. 6 54 3 2 1

6. Definition
Coordinates – an ordered pair of numbers that give the location of a point on a grid. (3, 4) 6 5
(3,4) 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6

7. Hint
The first number is always the x. The second number is always the y. 6 5
(3,4) 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6

8. How to Plot Ordered Pairs
Step 1 – Always find the x value first, moving horizontally either right (positive) or left (negative). 6 5
(2, 3) 4 y 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 4 5 6

9. How to Plot Ordered Pairs
Step 2 – Starting from your new position find the y value by moving vertically either up (positive) or down (negative). 6
(2, 3) 5 4 y
(2,3) 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 4 5 6

10. How to Find Ordered Pairs
Step 1 – Find how far over horizontally the point is by counting to the right (positive) or the left (negative). 6 5
(5, 4) 4 y 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 4 5 6

11. How to Find Ordered Pairs
Step 2 – Now count how far vertically the point is by counting up (positive) or down (negative). 6 5
(5,4) 4 y 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 4 5 6

12. What is the ordered pair?
(3,5) 6 5 4 y 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 4 5 6

13. What is the ordered pair?
(2,6) 6 5 4 y 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 4 5 6

14. What is the ordered pair?
(4,0) 6 5 4 y 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 4 5 6

15. What is the ordered pair?
(0,5) 6 5 4 y 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 4 5 6

16. What is the ordered pair?
(1,1) 6 5 4 y 3 2 1 x 1 2 3 4 5 6
