Coordinate Plane & Ordered Pairs

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are ordered pairs?

Back

A pair of numbers used to locate a point on the coordinate plane, written in the form (x, y).

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

(0, 0), where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), what does 'x' represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

In the ordered pair (x, y), what does 'y' represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical line on the coordinate plane where x = 0.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal line on the coordinate plane where y = 0.

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

Where is point (0, 2) located?

Back

On the y-axis, 2 units above the origin.

Front

Where is point (2, 0) located?

Back

On the x-axis, 2 units to the right of the origin.
