Plotting Points Practice

Front

What is the definition of the x-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line in a coordinate plane, where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the definition of the y-axis in a coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line in a coordinate plane, where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are the coordinates of point A if it lies on the y-axis?

Back

The coordinates of point A would be (0, y), where y can be any real number.

Front

What is an ordered pair in the context of a coordinate plane?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point's position on the coordinate plane, where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

How do you identify the point represented by the ordered pair (3, 0)?

Back

The point represented by the ordered pair (3, 0) is located 3 units to the right of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What are the coordinates of point I?

Back

The coordinates of point I are (-2, -5).

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, serving as the reference point for all other points.

Front

How do you determine the quadrant in which a point lies based on its coordinates?

Back

A point lies in Quadrant I if both coordinates are positive, Quadrant II if x is negative and y is positive, Quadrant III if both are negative, and Quadrant IV if x is positive and y is negative.

Front

What is the relationship between the coordinates of point L and its position on the coordinate plane?

Back

Point L has coordinates (-4, -4), meaning it is located 4 units left and 4 units down from the origin.

Front

What is the purpose of plotting points on a coordinate plane?

Back

Plotting points on a coordinate plane allows for visual representation of relationships between variables and helps in solving mathematical problems.
