Coordinate plane/Distance

Front

What are the coordinates of a point in the coordinate plane?

Back

Coordinates are expressed as an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

What does it mean to reflect a point over the y-axis?

Back

Reflecting a point over the y-axis means to create a mirror image of the point across the y-axis, changing the sign of the x-coordinate.

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 distance formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

What is the distance between the points (3, -5) and (3, -8)?

Back

The distance is 3 units, calculated as |y2 - y1| = |-8 - (-5)| = 3.

What is the significance of the x-coordinate in a point's coordinates?

Back

The x-coordinate indicates the horizontal position of the point relative to the y-axis.

How do you determine the number of units between two points on the same axis?

Back

To find the distance between two points on the same axis, subtract the smaller coordinate from the larger one.

Front

What does it mean for points to be plotted on a coordinate grid?

Back

It means that the points are represented by their coordinates on a two-dimensional plane defined by the x and y axes.
