Remember: Start at the origin. Go across first, then up. The ordered pair names the point: the first number is across and the second number is up.

Across, then up

Answer key · Set A
Finding a point
1at the origin, (0, 0) The axes cross at the origin. Every walk starts there, at zero across and zero up.
24, 3 Go 4 across, then 3 up. Across comes first, so the pair is 4, 3.
3B (6, 2) is 6 across and 2 up, which is point B. Point A is 2 across and 6 up.
49, 1 Go 9 across and 1 up. The pair is 9, 1.
5False Order matters. (3, 5) is 3 across and 5 up. (5, 3) is 5 across and 3 up. They are different places.
6True The first number tells how far across, and the second tells how far up.
7across The first number is the x-coordinate. It tells how far to go across.
80 The point is 7 across and 0 up. The y-coordinate is 0.
9(2, 5) Point C is 2 across and 5 up. The pair is (2, 5).
101-A, 2-B, 3-D, 4-C
114 Both points are 2 across. Counting up from 3 to 7 is 4 units.
12True It is 0 across and 6 up, so it sits on the y-axis.
134, 1, 2, 3 The first numbers are 3, 5, 7 and 9.
