Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal number line (x-axis) and a vertical number line (y-axis).

Front

What are the axes in a coordinate plane?

Back

The x-axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) that divide the plane into four quadrants.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

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

Front

What are the coordinates of the origin?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The first number in the ordered pair (x, y) represents the x-coordinate.

Front

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

Back

The second number in the ordered pair (x, y) represents the y-coordinate.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The horizontal number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The vertical number line in the coordinate plane.

Front

What are quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

The four sections created by the x-axis and y-axis.

Front

What is the significance of the point (4, 7) on the coordinate plane?

Back

It represents a point located 4 units right and 7 units up from the origin.
