What is the coordinate grid?

Back

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

How do you plot a point on the coordinate grid?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0,0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

How do you identify the quadrant of a point?

Back

The quadrant of a point is determined by the signs of its coordinates: Quadrant I (positive, positive), Quadrant II (negative, positive), Quadrant III (negative, negative), Quadrant IV (positive, negative).

How do you determine the distance between two points on the coordinate grid?

Back

The distance between two points can be calculated using the distance formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).
