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-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane, while the y-axis is the vertical line.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The x-coordinate, which indicates the position along the x-axis.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The y-coordinate, which indicates the position along the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

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

Front

How do you identify the x-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

It is the first number in the pair.

Front

How do you identify the y-coordinate in an ordered pair?

Back

It is the second number in the pair.

Front

What is the significance of the point (0, 1) on the coordinate plane?

Back

It represents a point where x=0 and y=1.

Front

What is the significance of the point (6, 6) on the coordinate plane?

Back

It represents a point where x=6 and y=6.
