Coordinate Plane

Front

What is 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).

Front

What are the axes in the coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes in the coordinate plane are the x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, typically written in the form (x, y).

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The x-coordinate is the first number in an ordered pair, representing the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The y-coordinate is the second number in an ordered pair, representing the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

What does a positive x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A positive x-coordinate indicates a point that is located to the right of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does a negative x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative x-coordinate indicates a point that is located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does a positive y-coordinate indicate?

Back

A positive y-coordinate indicates a point that is located above the origin on the y-axis.

Front

What does a negative y-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate indicates a point that is located below the origin on the y-axis.
