Coordinate Planes Review

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of a point?

Back

Coordinates are a pair of numbers that define the position of a point on a coordinate plane, written as (x, y).

Front

What does the x-axis represent?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal number line on a coordinate plane, representing the value of x in a coordinate pair.

Front

What does the y-axis represent?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical number line on a coordinate plane, representing the value of y in a coordinate pair.

Front

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you move to the right on a coordinate plane?

Back

To move to the right, you increase the x-coordinate by the number of units you want to move.

Front

How do you move to the left on a coordinate plane?

Back

To move to the left, you decrease the x-coordinate by the number of units you want to move.

Front

How do you move up on a coordinate plane?

Back

To move up, you increase the y-coordinate by the number of units you want to move.

Front

How do you move down on a coordinate plane?

Back

To move down, you decrease the y-coordinate by the number of units you want to move.

Front

What quadrant is located in the top right of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I is located in the top right of the coordinate plane, where both x and y coordinates are positive.
