Coordinate Plane Test Review

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line in a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line in a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are identified as an ordered pair (x, y), where x is the horizontal position and y is the vertical position.

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent?

Back

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

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is a pair of numbers used to locate a point on a coordinate plane, written as (x, y).

Front

What does a positive x-coordinate indicate?

Back

A positive x-coordinate indicates a point located to the right of the origin.

Front

What does a negative y-coordinate indicate?

Back

A negative y-coordinate indicates a point located below the x-axis.

Front

How do you plot the point (3, 2)?

Back

To plot (3, 2), move 3 units to the right on the x-axis and 2 units up on the y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the point (2, 0)?

Back

The point (2, 0) lies on the x-axis, indicating that its y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, 2)?

Back

The point (0, 2) lies on the y-axis, indicating that its x-coordinate is zero.
