Plotting Points

Front

What are the coordinates of point A if it is located 4 units to the right and 3 units up from the origin?

Back

(4, 3)

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What does the x-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

The x-coordinate represents the horizontal position of the point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the y-coordinate represent in a point (x, y)?

Back

The y-coordinate represents the vertical position of the point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane where y=0.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on the coordinate plane where x=0.

Front

If a point has coordinates (-5, 2), where is it located?

Back

It is located 5 units to the left and 2 units up from the origin.

Front

What is the distance from the origin to the point (3, 4)?

Back

The distance is 5 units, calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: √(3² + 4²) = 5.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative x-coordinate?

Back

It means the point is located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does it mean if a point has a negative y-coordinate?

Back

It means the point is located below the origin on the y-axis.
