Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the distance between two points on a coordinate plane?

Back

The distance can be calculated using the distance formula: d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

What is the X-axis?

Back

The X-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is zero.

Front

What is the Y-axis?

Back

The Y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is zero.

Front

What are coordinates?

Back

Coordinates are a set of values that show an exact position on a coordinate plane, typically written as (x, y).

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

How do you identify the quadrant of a point?

Back

The quadrant can be identified based on the signs of the x and y coordinates: Quadrant I (+,+), Quadrant II (-,+), Quadrant III (-,-), Quadrant IV (+,-).

Front

What is the formula for the area of a rectangle on a coordinate plane?

Back

Area = length × width, where length and width can be determined from the coordinates of the rectangle's vertices.

Front

How do you plot a point on a 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.

Front

What is a line segment?

Back

A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two distinct endpoints.

Front

What is the slope of a line?

Back

The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness, calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x (rise/run).
