What to Focus On
- Variables x and y are used in linear equations.
- The variable written as the subject is the dependent variable.
- The other variable is the independent variable.
- An ordered pair has two numbers in a fixed order.
- The first number is the first component and the second is the second component.
- Order matters in ordered pairs.
- The cartesian plane has two perpendicular number lines.
- The horizontal line is the x-axis.
- The vertical line is the y-axis.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The first number in an ordered pair can be swapped without changing the point.
A point on the x-axis has y as its first component, and a point on the y-axis has x as its second component.
The x-axis has slope undefined and the y-axis has slope 0.
