Example & extra help
Try a sample
On a coordinate grid, start at (0, 0), move 4 units right and 6 units up. What ordered pair names the final point?
- (4, 6)
- (6, 4)
- (-4, 6)
- (4, -6)
See the answer & why
(4, 6)
The first coordinate records horizontal movement: x = 4. The second records vertical movement: y = 6. The point is (4, 6).
A little hint: Read an ordered pair as (horizontal coordinate, vertical coordinate).
The origin is (0, 0), where the two axes meet.
