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). Each point on the plane is defined by an ordered pair (x, y).

Front

What does the ordered pair (x, y) represent?

Back

The ordered pair (x, y) represents the position of a point on the coordinate plane, where 'x' is the horizontal distance from the origin and 'y' is the vertical distance from the origin.

What is the origin in a coordinate plane?

Back

The origin is the point where the x-axis and y-axis intersect, represented by the coordinates (0, 0).

How do you plot a point on a coordinate plane?

Back

To plot a point, start at the origin (0, 0), move 'x' units along the x-axis, and then move 'y' units up (if positive) or down (if negative) along the y-axis.
