1	The Coordinate System
2	Vocabulary
3	Coordinate system: system of a horizontal number line and a vertical number line that intersect.
4
5	x-axis: the horizontal number line in the coordinate system
6
7	y-axis: the vertical number line in the coordinate system.
8
9	Origin: The center. Where the number lines intersect. Where both lines are zero (0). (0,0)
10
11	quadrant: The system is separated into four parts. These parts are called quadrants.
12
13	ordered pair: Points graphed on a coordinate system are identified by ordered pair.
14
15
16	x-coordinate: the first number in the ordered pair.
17
18	y-coordinate: the second number in the ordered pair.
19
20	An ordered pair will be like this: (x-coordinate, y-coordinate) (3, 2)
21	"Starting at the origin:" Starting at the origin: the x-coordinate tells you how far left or right. the y-coordinate tells you how far up or down.
22
23
24	"the ordered pair" the ordered pair (3, 2) tells you to start at the origin, (0, 0) and go to the right 3 and up 2.
25	"The ordered pair" The ordered pair (-3,6) tells you to go left 3 and up 6.
26	"The ordered pair" The ordered pair (8,-1) tells you to go the right 8 and down 1.

29	Plot these points (go down first) (5,3) (6,8) (10,3) (7,4) (8,4) (5,3) (9,8)
30	Plot these points (go down first) (1,2) (-2,4) (1,4) (-1,4) (2,4) (-1,2) (0,6) (1,2)
