Plotting points

Front

What are coordinates in a Cartesian plane?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a two-dimensional plane, typically represented as (x, y).

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of the point on the Cartesian plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of the point on the Cartesian plane.

Front

How do you plot a point with coordinates (3, 4) on a Cartesian plane?

Back

Start at the origin (0, 0), move 3 units to the right (positive x-direction), and then move 4 units up (positive y-direction).

Front

What is the significance of the origin in a Cartesian 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

What are the coordinates for point A if it is located at (2, -5)?

Back

The coordinates for point A are (2, -5), meaning it is 2 units to the right of the origin and 5 units down.

Front

How do you determine the quadrant of a point (x, y)?

Back

The quadrant can be determined by the signs of x and y: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

What letter corresponds to the coordinates (1, 2)?

Back

The letter corresponding to the coordinates (1, 2) is H.

Front

If a point is located at (-9, 1), what is its corresponding letter?

Back

The letter corresponding to the coordinates (-9, 1) is B.

Front

What is the location of point E if its coordinates are (5, 2)?

Back

Point E is located at the coordinates (5, 2).
