Graphs of Ordered Pairs 11-8

A PAIR of numbers whose ORDER is important is called an
ordered pair!!
(ordered, pair)

(2,3) is not the same as (3,2)

The two perpendicular lines are called axes.
The x-axis deals with the 1st number of the ordered pair and the y-axis deals with the 2nd number of the ordered pair.
The AXES meet at a point called the Origin (0,0)
The plane is called the coordinate plane

There are 4 quadrants, Use Roman Numerals to name them!!
Quadrant I ---> both the x and y coordinates are positive
(x,y) (+,+)

Quadrant II --> the x coordinate is negative but the y is positive
(-x,y) (-,+)

Quadrant III --. both the x and y coordinates are negative
(-x,-y) (-,-)

Quadrant IV --> the x coordinate is positive but the y coordinate is negative
(x,-y) (+,-)
