Coordinate Planes

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A 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).

What does the ordered pair (x, y) represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

In a coordinate plane, the ordered pair (x, y) represents the position of a point, where 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' is the vertical distance from the origin.

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To identify the coordinates of a point, locate the point on the plane, count the horizontal distance from the origin to the point (x-coordinate), and the vertical distance from the origin to the point (y-coordinate).

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

How do you move from one point to another on a coordinate plane?

Back

To move from one point to another, determine the change in the x-coordinate (horizontal movement) and the change in the y-coordinate (vertical movement) and apply these changes to the original coordinates.

What are the coordinates of a point located 3 units right and 5 units down from the point (2, 4)?

Back

The new coordinates would be (2 + 3, 4 - 5) = (5, -1).

What does it mean for a point to be '2 vertical units from the broccoli' on a coordinate plane?

Back

It means the point is located either 2 units above or 2 units below the y-coordinate of the broccoli's coordinates.

If a point is at (4, -6), what is its position relative to the origin?

Back

The point (4, -6) is located 4 units to the right of the origin and 6 units down.

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

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line that represents the x-coordinates, while the y-axis is the vertical line that represents the y-coordinates, together forming the framework for locating points.

How do you write the coordinates of a point without spaces?

Back

Coordinates should be written in the format (x,y) without any spaces between the numbers and the comma.
