The Coordinate Plane (6th CCSS) Review

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), and Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

How do you determine the location of a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

A point is located on the coordinate plane using an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' indicates the horizontal position and 'y' indicates the vertical position.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

How do you find the distance between two points on the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the x-axis and y-axis in the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line that represents the value of 'x', while the y-axis is the vertical line that represents the value of 'y'. Together, they form the basis for locating points.

Front

What does it mean for a point to be in Quadrant II?

Back

A point is in Quadrant II if its x-coordinate is negative and its y-coordinate is positive.

Front

How can you identify the vertices of a rectangle on the coordinate plane?

Back

The vertices of a rectangle can be identified by their ordered pairs, which represent the corners of the rectangle.

Front

What is the relationship between the coordinates of points on a line?

Back

Points on a line have a linear relationship, meaning they can be described by a linear equation, and their coordinates will satisfy that equation.

Front

How do you determine if a point lies on a given line?

Back

To determine if a point (x, y) lies on a line represented by an equation, substitute the x-value into the equation and check if the resulting y-value matches the y-coordinate of the point.
