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), used to plot points.

Front

What does an ordered pair represent?

Back

An ordered pair (x, y) represents a specific point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal position and 'y' is the vertical position.

Front

How do you plot the point (4, -12)?

Back

Move 4 units to the right on the x-axis and 12 units down on the y-axis.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the ordered pair (8, 6)?

Back

The x-coordinate is 8.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the ordered pair (8, 6)?

Back

The y-coordinate is 6.

Front

If a point is located at (1, 2), where is it positioned on the coordinate plane?

Back

It is 1 unit to the right and 2 units up from the origin (0, 0).

Front

What does the point (0, 0) represent?

Back

The origin, where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

How do you identify the first coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The first coordinate is the x-coordinate, which indicates horizontal movement.

Front

How do you identify the second coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

The second coordinate is the y-coordinate, which indicates vertical movement.

Front

What is the significance of negative coordinates?

Back

Negative coordinates indicate movement to the left (for x) or downward (for y) from the origin.
