Coordinate Plane

Front

What is a coordinate plane?

Back

A coordinate plane is a two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis). It is used to locate points using ordered pairs (x, y).

Front

What are the four quadrants of a coordinate plane?

Back

The four quadrants are: 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 are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0).

Front

How do you identify the quadrant of a point with positive x and positive y coordinates?

Back

A point with positive x and positive y coordinates is located in Quadrant I.

Front

What is the distance formula for two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)?

Back

The distance formula is d = √((x2 - x1)² + (y2 - y1)²).

Front

If Point A is at (2, 3) and Point B is at (2, 7), what is the distance between them?

Back

The distance is 4 units.

Front

What are the coordinates for a point in Quadrant II?

Back

An example of coordinates in Quadrant II is (-3, 4).

Front

What are the coordinates for a point in Quadrant III?

Back

An example of coordinates in Quadrant III is (-4, -5).

Front

What are the coordinates for a point in Quadrant IV?

Back

An example of coordinates in Quadrant IV is (5, -2).

Front

What does the x-axis represent in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis represents the horizontal line where y = 0.
