Coordinate Plane

Front

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). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The two axes in a 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, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What does the origin represent 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).

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

The coordinates of a point are identified by its position on the x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical), written as (x, y).

Front

What is the distance formula in the coordinate plane?

Back

The distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is calculated using the formula: Distance = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line in the coordinate plane, where the x-coordinate is always 0.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line in the coordinate plane, where the y-coordinate is always 0.

Front

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants based on the signs of the coordinates: Quadrant I (+,+), Quadrant II (-,+), Quadrant III (-,-), Quadrant IV (+,-).

Front

How do you plot a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0, 0), move along the x-axis to the x-coordinate, and then move vertically to the y-coordinate.
