Coordinate Planes Practical Problems Practice

Front

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 ordered pair (0, 0).

Front

How do you write an ordered pair?

Back

An ordered pair is written in the form (x, y), where x is the horizontal coordinate and y is the vertical coordinate.

Front

What does it mean to go '3 units to the right' on a coordinate plane?

Back

Going '3 units to the right' means increasing the x-coordinate by 3.

Front

What does it mean to go '2 units down' on a coordinate plane?

Back

Going '2 units down' means decreasing the y-coordinate by 2.

Front

What are the coordinates of a point that is 3 units below (-3, 6)?

Back

The coordinates are (-3, 3).

Front

Which quadrant contains points where x is positive and y is negative?

Back

Quadrant IV contains points where x is positive and y is negative.

Front

What is the y-axis?

Back

The y-axis is the vertical line on a coordinate plane where the x-coordinate is 0.

Front

What is the x-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on a coordinate plane where the y-coordinate is 0.

Front

What are the coordinates of the point at the origin?

Back

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

Front

Which quadrant contains points where both x and y are negative?

Back

Quadrant III contains points where both x and y are negative.
