Graphing Points on a Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface where points are defined by a pair of numbers (x, y).

Front

What are the two axes in a coordinate plane called?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and the y-axis (vertical).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The horizontal axis in a coordinate plane, where the first number in a coordinate pair is plotted.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The vertical axis in a coordinate plane, where the second number in a coordinate pair is plotted.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that define a point's location on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the coordinates (0, 0).

Front

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

Start at the origin, move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, then move vertically to the y-coordinate.

Front

What is an additive relationship?

Back

A relationship where one quantity increases by a constant amount as another quantity increases.

Front

What is a multiplicative relationship?

Back

A relationship where one quantity increases by a constant factor as another quantity increases.

Front

What is the first quadrant in a coordinate plane?

Back

The area where both x and y coordinates are positive.
