Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the definition of the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).

How is a point represented in the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is represented by an ordered pair (x, y), where x is the position on the x-axis and y is the position on the y-axis.

What does the point (0, 0) represent in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, 0) is called the origin, and it is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

What is the relationship between the x-axis and y-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis and y-axis are perpendicular to each other and divide the coordinate plane into four quadrants.
