Part 1: Write the definitions for the following vocabulary words.

coordinate plane— a two dimensional plane made from the x-axis and y-axis

origin— the point at which the x-axis and y-axis intersect at a perpendicular
angle

x-axis— the horizontal axis of a coordinate plane

y-axis— the vertical axis of a coordinate plane

ordered pair— a pair of numbers that indicates a point on the coordinate
plane

x-coordinate— the first number in an ordered pair; it indicates how far left
or right from the origin the point is

y-coordinate— the second number in an ordered pair; it indicates how far up
or down from the origin the point is
Part 2: Using the coordinate plane below label the following: x-axis, y-axis, origin
