Coordinate Plane

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 the x-coordinate and y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

In an ordered pair (x, y), x is the x-coordinate (horizontal position) and y is the y-coordinate (vertical position).

Front

How do you write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written as (x, y).

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent on the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

Which axis runs horizontally on the coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis runs horizontally.

Front

Which axis runs vertically on the coordinate plane?

Back

The y-axis runs vertically.

Front

What is the ordered pair for the point located 3 units right and 2 units up from the origin?

Back

The ordered pair is (3, 2).

Front

If a point has coordinates (4, -3), where is it located?

Back

It is located 4 units to the right and 3 units down from the origin.

Front

What is the distance between the points (2, 3) and (2, 7)?

Back

The distance is 4 units (vertical distance along the y-axis).

Front

What is the distance between the points (1, 1) and (4, 1)?

Back

The distance is 3 units (horizontal distance along the x-axis).
