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), used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What are the four quadrants of the coordinate plane?

Back

Quadrant I (x > 0, y > 0), Quadrant II (x < 0, y > 0), Quadrant III (x < 0, y < 0), Quadrant IV (x > 0, y < 0).

Front

What does the coordinate (0, 0) represent?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the coordinates of a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

By using an ordered pair (x, y), where 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' is the vertical distance from the origin.

Front

What is the x-coordinate in the point (3, -2)?

Back

3, which indicates the point is 3 units to the right of the origin.

Front

What is the y-coordinate in the point (-5, 4)?

Back

4, which indicates the point is 4 units above the origin.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (2, -3) located?

Back

Quadrant IV, where x is positive and y is negative.

Front

What is the distance from the origin to the point (4, 3)?

Back

The distance is calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: √(4² + 3²) = √(16 + 9) = √25 = 5.

Front

What does a negative x-coordinate indicate?

Back

The point is located to the left of the origin on the x-axis.

Front

What does a negative y-coordinate indicate?

Back

The point is located below the origin on the y-axis.
