y axis - vertical axis (up and down)
x axis - horizontal axis (left and right)
quadrant - one of the 4 sections of a coordinate plane
origin - where the y and x axes intersect (0,0)
ordered pair - 2 coordinates/numbers; example: (3,6)
x coordinate - always the first number in the ordered pair, tells you where to go left or right of the origin; example: (3,6)
y coordinate - the second number in the ordered pair, tells you where to go up and down of the origin; example: (3,6)
