Coordinate Planes RFMS

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis), used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinates of a point are identified as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' represents the horizontal position and 'y' represents the vertical position.

Front

What does the point (-4, -2) represent on a coordinate plane?

Back

The point (-4, -2) is located 4 units to the left of the origin and 2 units down.

Front

How do you calculate the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

Back

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) can be calculated using the formula: Distance = |x2 - x1| + |y2 - y1|.

Front

What is the distance between the points (10.5, 15.5) and (10.5, 20)?

Back

The distance is 4.5 units, calculated as |20 - 15.5|.

Front

What does the expression |4| - |3| represent in the context of distance?

Back

The expression |4| - |3| represents the horizontal distance between points M (-3, 5) and N (-4, 5) on a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of absolute values in distance calculations?

Back

Absolute values are used in distance calculations to ensure that distances are non-negative, as distance cannot be negative.

Front

What is the distance from the house to the park if it is stated to be 6 units?

Back

The distance from the house to the park is 6 units, indicating a direct measurement between the two locations.

Front

How do you interpret the expression |-2| + |2| in terms of distance?

Back

The expression |-2| + |2| represents the total distance traveled when moving from -2 to 0 and then from 0 to 2 on a number line.

Front

What are the coordinates of Point M and Point N?

Back

Point M has coordinates (-3, 5) and Point N has coordinates (-4, 5).
